5.0 out of 5 stars This is the most "readable" book on Blackbeard I've read., June 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Blackbeard, Terror of the Seas (Paperback)

Full of facts and legends, this book is very enjoyable to read. Ms Day makes you feel as if you're on-board with the fierce pirate! This is also a very good book for children. My 12 year old has read it twice!

2.0 out of 5 stars Ugh, August 10, 2006

Patrick Sullivan "P.R.S." (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Blackbeard, Terror of the Seas (Paperback)

So it's not a bad book, but all the "dialog" that is tossed around and written as fact, combined with the drawings done by some five year old that are sprinkled throughout the book, combined with all the padding with cliche' "pirate" phrases makes me feel like I'm back in elementary school... The book may have also been edited by someone in elementary school. After they watched Pirates of the Carribean.
It's fine. It's light. But if you're looking for any kind of scholarly or serious work on Blackbeard this is NOT that book.
