Title: These are sailors, not Shakespeareans....
Review: What I did like about Brinkley's "The Last Ship", is his worship and veneration of women. The 'climactic' love scene in the book is one of the most poetic and sensual I have ever read--a beautiful picture of the joys of a woman...but....sailors on American missile destroyers do not speak with the forced Shakespearean elocution that Brinkley portrays in the book. This unrealistic narrative, and his frequent philosophical musings made me wonder where his editor was. The story and imagery were good, if you did not miss it while skipping over the profundities and absurd dialogs.
