Negative Positive
Title: Post Captain Disappoints
Review: I am a great fan of the Aubrey-Maturin series, so I am loathe to write anything negative. However, I have struggled to finish "Post Captain". It is tedious reading, and dull for the most part. The book never really establishes a plot line. It shifts through a listless struggle between Aubrey and Maturin's romantic aspirations, and then back to Jack's dicey struggle with his chain of command. The book confuses and makes painful reading at times. It lacks the sublime feeling I had from reading other volumes in the series.
Is the review positive or negative?
