As an O'Brian fan, I'm extremely sad to see the Aubrey/Maturin series end, but what better way to end than in mid sentence. I can picture Patrick O'Brian finishing his daily writing, the writer at his task, and then just stopping. A great craftsman and artist to the finish.The book itself is every bit as good as his others: nuanced, erudite, intelligent, artful, with extremely well drawn characters and situations. I got the audio book version and the reader, Patrick Tull, is one of the best ever.21 is truly great and a fitting end to the series and to a life of writing.
I listened to the audio of all 21 of these books in order one after the other for many, many weeks. I'm not a sailor in any way, but I loved these books and loved these characters so much. I was sad to read the last one and sad that O'brian had to go. I don't think I've enjoyed a book series so much as these.
What a great series. And the reader too. We have the whole set, which is now going out of "print" and hard to get. Get yours while you can!!
Great book series ... Good quality ... I have all 21 audio books ... Have listened to the whole series twice over the last decade ... And will do it again.
This was a gift. Very well received.
