Title: great set spoiled
Review: The Aubrey-Maturin novels take you back to another time - you become thoroughly immersed in the details and the language of O'Brian's great stories. I have collected quite a few of the books and thought I would like to get the whole set. This edition is nicely presented on good paper, but I quickly found that I could not enjoy the books because I kept coming across passages that didn't make sense to me. Eventually I checked with one of the existing books I have and found that this edition contains numerous errors - bad punctuation, words missing etc - which spoil the enjoyment. I have given the set away and returned to collecting the books one at a time.
Is the review positive or negative?
