Title: Written by colege freshmen
Product review: This book could have begun with "It was a dark and stormy see". The authors try to impress us with their vocabulary, often using archaic terms, and overuse adjectives. The writing is in the style of a bad romance novel with overuse of adjectives. Many of the similes are inappropriate for a sea story.My biggest complaint is reserved for the lack of citations. The book is filled with quotations, but there is no notes section to tell us where the quotes came from. The book might as well be labeled fiction. The magazine and newspaper section citations are lacking and the electronic sources section follows no style. Websites are listed with URLs nor access dates. In the miscellaneous section, one of the sources is history.navy.mil. The high schoolers I work with can put together better bibliographies.
