With Pummelings and Daggery
I forgot to stop at Powells so this was kinda the only choice left to me from the PDX news stand. It has the word “pirate” in the title and right below it is the sentence: “Crichton’s ultimate adventure.” Ooh, that sounds great.
Well, seventy pages in I can tell you that it’s pretty goofy. It reads like a book for kids but with pummelings and daggery. This book also seems to have an abundance of wenching. Oh well, at least the swashbuckling is gonna commence any page now…
