What Members Thought
Dull. Short novella of pirates trying to escape with stolen boat from a lighthouse island. Sounds like something Robert Louis Stevenson could have done well. But there was no humor here, and virtually no action. Lots of waiting for tides to turn. Also too much foreshadowing of any of the potentially exciting events - will the good guys successfully fire their single cannon shot at the pirates? Yes - you find out in a single sentence before the twenty page description.
