Title: Forgettable
Product review: This dull book suffers from all the weaknesses of Pope's writing and none of his strengths. Reading this book was like wading through the LaBrea Tar Pits. Way too much detail on trivial matters and little action and suspense. Just when things begin to get interesting, Pope pulls the rug out from under the reader and leaves him wondering what is going on. This happens over and over. There simply is no climax to any of the episodes. They just fizzle out. And they aren't filled with anything to keep the reader interested. The whole story--Ramage capturing several bomb ketches, sinking two frigates--should be a jolly ol' read. But it isn't. I'll keep plugging along with this series, but hope the next one is better.
