Midway through this book I began asking myself, "Why have I never read Patrick O'Brian before now?" "Master and Commander" is the first book in Mr. O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series, and will not be the last I will read. It shares the name of the Hollywood movie which was nominated for Best Picture a few years back, but that is all they share. I do not mean this as a knock to the movie or the book (as both are excellent), but merely to make plain that those expecting the plot from the movie will be surprised that it is not contained here. This book takes place entirely in the Mediterranean during the Napoleonic War, and is principally concerned with how Captain Aubrey and Ships Surgeon Maturin meet and become friends. In fact, it is this unlikely friendship between a politically conservative, Tory Captain (prejudiced against all Catholics) and an Irish Protestant passivist, who escaped from Ireland after the British defeat of O'Connell and the "United Irishmen" (whom he supported) only to end-up (in circumstances the book details) serving on a British vessel in Spain (yup) which makes this book so unique and wonderful. The other thing that makes this book unique is it's structure. Most books of historical military fiction center around one battle for their climatic moment, but this book is a series of events where the main characters are not always involved in the major battles. This makes the book seem a little more "real" compared to other books where the main characters are always the hero; and therefore, all action has to be centered around them (as though they were super human). Indeed, finding what is "human" and "vulnerable" in his characters personalities and in the plot itself seems to be Mr. O'Brian's main task. Overlaying that with action, adventure, and considerable (and fascinating) nautical detail are his second, third, and fourth tasks. He accomplishes all, admirably.

I agree with some others reviews.....great advice, but very redundant about the emphasis on exercise. Too many little anecdotes....

Bought from Amazon, and I still own a copy. APART OF THE GOODREADS 2012 READING CHALLENGE. Review/Rating: 5 out of 5 Ease of Reading Text: 5 out of 5 Illustrations: 5 out of 5 Plot: 5 out of 5 Art Touch-Up: 5 out of 5 Translation: 5 out of 5 Design: 5 out of 5 The last of the reinforcements have arrived. Now Mei Lin, Billy, Frey, Nyozeka, Kyo and Alice must go into enemy territory in order to save Mayura from Darva and the Maram Masters. However, in order to find her, Alice must first try understanding Mayura before the Lotis Masters get dragged into the darkness inside their hearts as well. All of the developments are starting to go faster now that this series is almost over. Now you get to know more about some of the characters. Like why Chris kind of limps when he walks. And also, Frey's past, how he feels towards Alice, and how he feels about Eric. Though, once you see Frey's past, you will think that him and Kyo are more alike than you would ever think. Also, you get to see a little bit more about Alice's and Mayura's relationship. Another thing you get to learn is about the occupations of Mei Lin and Billy. Billy's occupation was quite unexpected and it's one that I hardly see in manga for one of the main minor characters. One thing I really liked learning about was about the Maram Masters and why they turned from the light. Most of the scenes in this volume are pretty sad, and I almost cried at some of them. :( Now on to how the artwork and designs looked in this volume, all of them are looking pretty good still, especially the expressions. One of the parts I loved was when the snakes were falling down on them and the expression on Billy's face. *laughs* Also, there is another Kyo and Frey kiss drawn, but this time it was on the cheek and Frey did it freely. One more thing about the artwork, there are some naked scenes, but only the upper part (breasts with nipples) of Mayura (again). ^^; So beware of that throughout the volume. :S Overall, I think the plot is turning out well, and I love all the information about the characters --- even the Maram Masters. However, I think that the ending is pretty sad, so beware of tears towards the end of the volume. For VIZ's part of bringing this manga into English, their art-touchup has gotten a lot better. I notice fewer errors in touching up the art from erasing the kanji. ;) Also, the translation and everything else they do are still pretty good. :D Overall, they did a much better job from when they first started this series. :)

This book, if read correctly, is so damn funny. I love Bilbo's transformation from ignorance to anything outside the Shire to the adventerous world traveler. I believe this teaches lessons to all who are developing into their own person. LOTR Forever!!!!

Quick read, certainly pulled me along. But it's hard not to think about the datedness---no way could this ever happen now, and perhaps it couldn't during the '50's either.....fun anyway.

This book is about a girl named Kit and she moves into this new school, Blackwood School, only for girls. At school she finds out that there is something going on, something creepy. But, those creepy things only happen when she sleeps. She tries to run and get out of the school. But, it is very hard. I like this book because it's scary. People who like watching scary movies or like scary books, will like this book.

I forget where I got this but I'm glad I found it. This is great for people like me who love to learn about personal experiences during the Holocaust. It's different in that unique way each person experiences something and that affects me. I absolutely adored the photos and I loved how they were included as well. Instead of having the usual photo insert Kimmelman put them in sporadically and that really gave a lot to the book IMO. I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking for personal accounts - you can find many, some more well written than others and this isn't one of the best written and it's certainly not one of the worst. The fact that Kimmelman is obviously very intelligent makes the writing that much better. What she had to endure to survive is horrendous. All of it is horrendous but reading a book like this - and being brought into the story, into the persons life - brings it so much closer to home.

The book's summary was about a man going to Paris, it didn't have anything do with that! It was a series of different stories about the author's life, which was interesting but not something that I was expecting.

I got a bag full of romance novels from a friend who doesn't like them and I read most of them expecting to be bored silly. This was one of them. I didn't know this book was part of a series and it bugs me that I started with book two. I like to start at the beginning but it is exciting too because now I can find all the other books and read them as well. I know it will be worth it, Christina Dodd is an amazing writer.

Check out the musical instead. This was just a painful read.
