5.0 out of 5 stars Amnesia Helps Scoundrel Become Saint, April 5, 2000

By 

Janet Reeves - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Saintly Buccaneer (The House of Winslow #5) (Paperback)

I loved this book! Set at the end of the Revolutionary war, it shows the role of ships, both Navy and independent, in helping the colonists to win. It also shows how Paul Winslow, introduced in previous books in the series, finds his place in life and comes to Christ. The storyline is unique and fascinating. The characters are adventurous and interesting. The reader can't help but want everything to work out well for all. Another well-researched and inventive story by Gilbert Morris.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tale! Won't be disappointed!, January 15, 2009

This review is from: The Saintly Buccaneer: 1777 (The House of Winslow #5) (Paperback)

This book continues with the story of Paul Winslow who we met earlier in the series. Unlike the other side of his family, Paul and his immediate family are completely opposed to the American Revolution. That is until he is pressed into service on a British ship. When he comes to he realizes he remembers nothing? He has no idea who he was before.

We also meet Charity Alden whose brother has been killed by the war. She truly believes in the cause and her and Paul Winslow meet. It becomes hard for Charity to understand why the Winslow family all lean on Christ through even the hard times.

I really loved this book. It was an interesting look at the war ships and private ships that helped during the war. You don't realize how much private ships actually helped during the war but they contributed greatly to our win. Especially those who simple believed in the cause and wanted to help at any cost.

I have been a huge fan of the House of Winslow series since I started reading it. There was only one that has disappointed me so far and this book is definitely not it. Gilbert Morris still delivers his wonderful mix of historical fiction and true events in this tale! You will not be disappointed by this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Rather boring, July 11, 2006

This review is from: The Saintly Buccaneer: 1777 (The House of Winslow #5) (Paperback)

I love the House of Winslow seris "dont get me wrong" but this story was dull and boring to me. I got very sick of reading all about blood, and war. Morris spent a great deal of time describing all of battles in detail. It was fine the first time, but then I was done. I was mad about the way that Daniel Greene was treated. He just wanted to love a girl and have her love him back. But know that is never good enough for these woman. They have to have the Winslow men. I never got it. I had to make myself finish the story, it seemed like it would never end. I am hoping that the next book in this seris in better
