Bruce Alexander Cook (1932–2003)

Detailed, informative. It can bog down a bit with the specificity. Very well researched.

a fun series and this was no exception.
As an American, I was a little chary of Franklin's honor, though I know he was no saint

a lot of times I can't stand kid narrator's , but this one is not too obtursive and I willl definitely try another in the series.

Always good to have my horror of press gangs reaffirmed. I do think that there should have been another discussion in editing of what language to include; historical accuracy can be a consideration but you should also consider modern readers.
