Reseñas

Bravo from Borneo


(4.5 estrellas)

I really enjoyed this period seafaring tale; such an adventure filled with peril and heroic deeds. I admire the author's work who is someone clearly with vast seagoing experience. His descriptive talents bring each scene to life and enable us to visualise situations so clearly. I must pay tribute to the narrator who read the book so smoothly. A great book.

Well read

The reader does a very good job of expression and reading. The story is interesting but a little far fetched at times 😀

Great rollicking victoriana adventure, superbly read. The painfully detailed discription of every thought and minor action could grate on tastes more used to modern styles.

A wonderful yarn. It has all the elements to keep one riveted to the pages and at the end wishing for more.
