I had very mixed feelings about this book. I did admire the writing style--especially since it was written by a twenty-first-century man from the view point of a young woman from the 1700s--but the story didn't pull me in. The end was actually quite bizarre plot-wise (when whom she was telling the story to was revealed), but I did like a lot of what was said on the last page.

The only thing I really remember liking about the book was that Mary Reed continued to be referred to as "he" even after he was revealed to be a woman, and how much he loved Anne. Nothing else was really memorable.

This is a great book if you like to read a semi-fiction with a few historical people and facts thrown in for good measure. The characters made me want to get to know them and root for the underdog. They are pirates afterall, but you get to understand their motivation and hope that they will find happiness in the end and not get killed for thier pirating ways.
