    A rollicking sea adventure, set in the time of the Napoleonic Wars, this book follows the escapades of a young midshipman who enters the King's service with some ideas that run badly afoul of the standards of naval discipline!

      At second reading it is still a good book, perhaps a little unbelievable all these things happening to one guy in so short a time. But still fun, and the moral does give one pause.
    • 4/5
      This amusing story is in the nature of a romp. The turn of phrase is sometimes hilarious, unfortunately the adventures are so outlandish that they begin to pall after a while. This was a free Kindle book; it was worth the time I invested in it, and it yielded some enjoyable chuckles and outright laughs. I doubt I will reread it.
