I love every one, but this one is especially good--we get to spend time with Jack's family in the beginning, Steven's natural studies and intelligence work in the middle, and at the end there is some great action. Any Austen fan should consider reading these books to get a male perspective on the time. O'Brian's research is impeccable and his prose is utterly convincing. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1036527?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
