I read this entire series when I was a preteen or young teenager. I LOVED each and every one of these and I waited impatiently for each new installment.
Being an avid Disney fan and the POTC ride in Disney World is my favorite, and the POTC movies were among my most-watched movies, I could not contain myself when my dad found these for me in the book store.
Although I have not read them in years, I remember them fondly and I strongly recommend them to anyone who likes pirates, tie-in novels, or just exciting adventuress. I think these would be a hit for reluctant readers as well (even though I did not classify as a reluctant reader, these grab you quickly and are pretty easy to get into).

The vivid descriptions of the high seas and vibrant characters create a cinematic experience in the reader's mind. Overall, the book is a rollicking journey that brings the magic of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise to life on the pages.

This book is sort of confusing. I don't understand exactly why each group of people want the trident. I don't really understand why the mermaids want it or why Torrents has it. Jack's dislike of Arabella's mother comes as a bit of a surprise, because it hasn't really been well developed throughout the books. I don't really know why she hates him and why he hate her. As I've said before i'm sick of all of the deserted islands in these books and it's good to know that Jack Sparrow himself seems to be sick of them too in this book. Overall, the ending of this book was pretty typical of how adventure books end.
