Editorial Reviews

About the Author

John "Ol' Chumbucket" Baur and Mark "Cap'n Slappy" Summers came up with the idea for Talk Like a Pirate Day during an ill-fated game of racquetball way back in 1995, making it the first holiday that ever originated as a sports injury. They adamantly deny that there was any grog-swilling involved, though they both admit to swilling more than their fair share of grog at other times.

Full of good information and well written.

This is really a good book - funny and full of fun facts. Be careful you might learn something! It may have been just me but sometimes it seemed a tad wordy for my liking - but I am a tad ADD so ... what was I saying?

A great gift for the pirate in your life.

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2006

I liked this book overall. It has a mix of handy tips for acting like a pirate, like a pirate-name-generator and pirate party games. It also has interesting pirate factoids and trivia at various points in the margins. Also, the authors usually project the right mix of enthusiasm and self-deprecation to keep the book fun.

That said, it is still a bit of a stretch to turn this material into a complete book. I would stack my pirate street cred (ship cred?) up against anyone's. I've given a 45-minute lecture to medical residents in full regalia and voice, and yet even I was finding that the schtick was getting a bit old by the end.

Bottom line - this is a great gift for the pirate in your life. If you personally know a swarthy dog, or have a friend who likes to go by the name "Black Dave", then this would be the perfect thing to give them on "Talk Like A Pirate Day". Five stars if that is why you are buying. If, on the other hand, you are just a casual reader with little interest in a silly pirate book, then 2-3 stars would be about right.

Great for "Talk Like a Pirate Day" or any day you just want to smile, this book is jam-packed with ideas and vocabulary for a modern buccaneer.

As a raging pirate junkie and a nerd, I have a vast collection of books just about every book on piracy. There are very few things about pirates I don't know, but this book surprisingly had some new information. And not so surprisingly the Pirate Guys were just as funny as always! This book was an all around great time and may have actually enhanced my piratitude!

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2005

I was a little dissappointed. This is a funny book, and these are obviously funny guys. The live show must be outrageous...but then, the live show probably has props. That's what this book needs. It's a lot of words.... a lot of funny words, but all crammed in together with no real break. After about 30 pages, you start to anticipate how each subject will be addressed. Kind of like this review, after the first part, you know what the rest will be like. Imagine how much more interesting it would be if Amazon would let me illustrate my review.... imagine what a great book this would have been if they had chosen to use some ILLUSTRATIONS!!! (If the cover say's "Funny book" when you see it... look at the cover again, and imagine it with just the words and no pictures.. that's the book. p.s. Yes I often enjoy books without pictures.... but this wasn't one of them.
