5.0 out of 5 stars a good book, May 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Boon Island: Including Contemporary Accounts of the Wreck of the *Nottingham Galley* (Paperback)
This is a must read book for those of you who like historical novels. It is about a ship that has wrecked on an island off the coast of Maine and how the crew survives. This book is written with the historical preciseness that Arundel and Northwest Passage are written with. This is one of the greatest historical novels

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book with a clear focus and excellent research, June 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Boon Island: Including Contemporary Accounts of the Wreck of the *Nottingham Galley* (Paperback)
This book, while not one of Roberts's finest, is still a well-researched mini-masterpiece. It's depiction of real people in seemingly unreal conditions instead of themes on several levels works well for what it sets out to do.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant read., June 24, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Boon Island: Including Contemporary Accounts of the Wreck of the *Nottingham Galley* (Paperback)
I enjoyed reading this book for its authentic background. We will never be able to learn the whole truth as to what may have occurred during the tragic ordeal of those who were present, but Roberts tells a wonderful story anyhow. It's all history now.
