Incredibly dry..... I'm surprised that this is not only on the list of the 100 greatest adventure books of all time but also that it is ranked higher than Arlene Blum's "Anapurna" and William Bligh's "Mutiny on the Bounty." While this novel was said to inspire the English to explore the high seas, it only inspired me to sleep. ( )
