Book Review: Silver

Silver: My Own Tale As Written by Me with a Goodly Amount of Murder by Edward Chupack
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A bloody tale of the rise of the legendary Long John Silver and his adventures and misfurtunes bringing us up to date with his capture from the Tresure Island story and his demise.
Captain Long John Silver has been captured and is locked in his own bunk as his captors man his own ship the Linda Maria. We discover what has transpired in Johns life from his days as a nameless street rat to the captain his is today, through his writings to the captain who now sails the lady Linda Maria and his words with Mullet.
Its a rocketing romp through a pirates life and a bit of fun to read though the narrative can be a little annoying at times. John Silver has a tendancy to ramble and much of what he says is repeated, even in his younger years. This only gets worse as the fever takes him. In some parts two whole pages are read and nothing has really been said.
Still a fun read for those who love a good pirates tale.
