But Paul Dowswell seems to pull it off fairly well - and in first person, too. I have mentioned before the fine art of writing believable battle sequences - sea-battles are probably some of the hardest because you need a working knowledge of sea tactics and how a ship operated when it beat to quarters. And surprisingly the battles are pretty easy to follow. ![]() ![]() Paul Dowswell certainly takes the time to mention the carnage cannon shot inflicts, but he doesn't go into horrific detail like Michael Cadnum probably would. Prison Ship was really good - historically rich (you get to briefly meet Lord Nelson!!), exciting, likable characters, suspense, and just bloody enough. Just remember that Sam was press-ganged, Powder Monkey ended with a ship sinking, and his best friend is Richard. I wouldn't call it a stand-alone book, but what important events and characters that were in Book One are touched upon again in Prison Ship, so you'll either recall everything or you won't remember at all, but won't miss anything important because of it. Thankfully for me, I didn't have to re-read Powder Monkey in order to appreciate and understand Prison Ship. ![]() I don't remember much about Powder Monkey - the first book in this trilogy -, but what little I do remember I recall liking. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments A gift from the lonely doll![]() ![]() ![]() The stories themselves are told with minimal text and evocative black-and-white photos of Edith, the author's real childhood doll, carefully posed to give the impression of a doll come to life as she interacts with a world made for humans.
