5.0 out of 5 stars Adventure in Every Chapter!, April 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Midshipman Quinn Collection (Bethlehem Budget Books) (Paperback)

This collection features four books which detail the adventures of Septimus Quinn, a Midshipman on the H.M.S. Althea during the Napoleonic wars. Quinn is a great character. He's slight in stature and somewhat of a nerd, but he exhibits the resourcefulness and coolness under pressure of James Bond.

I am halfway through reading this book with my preteen sons. They are loving every minute of it and so am I. I confess that I sometimes read ahead after they've gone to bed just to see how the next chapter turns out.

In summary, this collection provides good clean fun and adventure that can be enjoyed by young and old. I highly recommend it!

By A Customer

This review is from: The Midshipman Quinn Collection (Bethlehem Budget Books) (Paperback)

These are great books! there are 4 book total and they all are great! I could barely put it down! Its about a young man who is a midshipman in England's navy when England was fighting Napoleon. He is very intelligent and he thinks of solutions to all the difficult situations he and whoever's with him are in. Its wonderful!

This review is from: The Midshipman Quinn Collection (Bethlehem Budget Books) (Paperback)

These are delightful books that both my sons and daughter have enjoyed. (O.K. I confess. I enjoyed them too!) Good principles are taught and the writing style is very engaging. Midshipman Quinn as a character cuts a swath through the book with brains instead of brawn. Simply outstanding! Everyone of my children complained when they finished (with a sigh), "I wish that there were more."
