4.0 out of 5 stars A COOL BOOK!, March 2, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Buccaneers (High Seas Trilogy) (Paperback)

This book ii about a man name john spencer and hs ship called the dragon. They are sailing and they come cross small boat. There was a man name Horn on the boat. He tells them of a isand with tresure and canibals.

I thought the book was hard to start but t was got better after a cupple chapters. There was alot of action latter in the book. I like a book wth alot of action in the whole book so i might be differnt for other people.

Once agn he only part I did not like is the begining. Al they did was sail around. I thought it good at the part with the storm. Also when they got to the island.

Over all t was very good book. I woul recamend you read the first two books before this one they do not talk about the characters very much. I like the plot and theme of this book. it was a good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Kids View Of The Buccaneers, April 6, 2005

By 

Class 15 (San Anselmo) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Buccaneers (High Seas Trilogy) (Paperback)

This book is about a nineteen year old boy named John Spencer. He tells the story in his own perspective. In this book, the third book of a wonderful series about John and his many adventures at sea, John and his crewmates on The Dragon, battle pirates, deliver cargo to a port in the West Indies, find ghost ships at sea, and have many other exciting adventures before they return to their home country of England.

There are many great things about this book. I really appreciated how the author used descriptive words in almost every sentence. I also really liked the setting of the story, Central American waters in the early 1800's.

What can I say, the author did such a good job writing this book there is not to much he can improve on. He could probably describe the characters a little better though.

In the long run I would give this book a rating of five on a scale from one to five.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Buccaneers, January 6, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Buccaneers (High Seas Trilogy) (Paperback)

My book the Buccaneers is a very good book if you like adventures. It took place in London and out on in the ocean. I recommend this book to a teenager or older. If you like pirates you will love this book. When I started reading this I couldn't put it down at all. It makes you want to keep reading tell you finish it. There's a captain and his ship friends who try to sail across the sea until they found an island where there were some very nasty pirates who love to cook people alive.
