A great read for those who are interested in sea travel during the 1740s. 
I did get a little lost in the terminology concerning the ship. It is a new language to me: the parts of the ship, ship etiquette, and roles of the people on the ship. Grann does explain the etiquette and the roles of the people a bit, but I became lost sometimes. 
Still an interesting story! This book may be more for someone who is into naval/military stories. 
I am glad I gave this book a go though! I would be interested in watching a documentary about the Wager!

Started out a bit boring but got interesting. It was shorter than I thought because there was a lot of authors notes

Quite an interesting read not only about a tale of (mis)adventure but also about the importance seafaring had in shaping the world. 

On a side note; I recommend looking up Wager Island on Maps after reading for a bit of a laugh.
