Fun classic adventure story, I hadn't realized how much pirate lore was generated in this book. I honestly only picked this up because I wanted to read a retelling, and thought I should read the original first. There's some very good writing as well as some truly excellent imagery, but I wasn't particularly drawn to the story. Howeve , the narration was five stars. Alfred Molina did an absolutely fantastic job.
