Title: not defoe
Review: This book reads as though it was written by or for Captain Avery himself. It reads like a PR job. It has none of the style or character of Defoe. Some will find it fun but it is no good for a Defoe book.Ironically the excellent American Defoe scholar John Robert Moore attributed the book A General History of the Pyrates to Defoe, but later scholars dismissed this on the grounds that its style did not resemble that of the King of Pirates! The style of A General History of the Pyrates (Volume One at least) seems definitely Defoe's and that is the book to recommend to Defoe fans.
