A review by ckmarvelous
Master & Commander by Patrick O'Brian

4.0

Started this about 4 times in two years and finally finished—very difficult to get into. Once I was about halfway the pace picked up and it got easier to read. I think it would get better with a reread because I’m sure I missed a lot of subtle references due to the sheer number of characters and terms introduced. But I’m in no hurry to start that slog over again.
