Worthless. Top complaints:

1. Poorly written. Every couple of pages the narrator says things like "many other things happened that day, but it would take too much time to list them here now." Stop telling me about all the things you aren't telling me! It happens over and over again. Unbearable.

2. Misogynist drivel. The only two female characters are (of course) both madly in love with the main character. He tries to paint the main lady as a feisty she-pirate, a spirited adventuress. According tho this book, being a Spirited Adventuress involves being super sexy, sacrificing everything for the man you're totally in love with even though you met him only once, and letting him do things like chain you to the boat when he disagrees with you. But, it's okay because he felt really bad about it later.

3. Random stupidity. It isn't until the main character is ON A SAILING SHIP, having lived in a pirate seaport marketplace for weeks previously, that he starts to think, gosh, maybe I'm not in the present anymore. A character whose name should be Judas, pronounced the Spanish way, is written out in the text as "Hoodas." The main character/narrator makes an assertion that it's okay for girls to be sheep-like if they have boys to protect them, and there is a very seriously disturbing section regarding the narrator's viewpoints about the sexual abuse children in the Church, and who is to blame for it. This book is a train wreck.
