Negative Positive
Title: The series is OK at best IMO
Review: I have read all three in the series and it was a long drawn out struggle to finish. Poyer displays his great knowledge of events, sailing, and personal drama. If you are not a nut for detailed sailing and weak drama, then you may not like this book and series, because action is lacking. I have also read James Nelson Civil War Naval books and enjoyed them. This series is boring at times and had me flipping pages until something interesting occurs - it could be alot of pages.This is civil war naval stuff - a war that is not known for much naval action, except for a handful of events. As you can guess, our heroes hit all the main events, that is one event per book. The first is Sumter, then Raiders, and finally Hampton Roads.The series appears to have stopped. Likely because it is hard to keep anything interesting going. The only thing left to cover is river battles. At the used prices, I got what I paid for and an OK read.
Is the review positive or negative?
