3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting subject and pretty good book.,
By
This review is from: Scurvy: How a Surgeon, a Mariner, and a Gentleman Solved the Greatest Medical Mystery of the Age of Sail (Audio CD)
This is a perfectly adequate audio book. I think if I were reading a paper copy I might have skimmed over a few sections, but as an audio book it's fine. The history of survey and the associated politics in the Royal Navy is pretty amazing stuff. If you're at all interested in naval history, you'll enjoy this.
The downside is the guy reading the book is just OK, and the text can get pretty repetitious. For example, the symptoms of scurvy are described in detail a zillion times. |
