Goodreads Blurb
Worried that his pirates are growing bored with a life of winking at pretty native ladies and trying to stick enough jellyfish together to make a bouncy castle, the Pirate Captain decides it's high time to spearhead an adventure.While searching for some major pirate booty, he mistakenly attacks the young Charles Darwin's Beagle and then leads his ragtag crew from the exotic Galapagos Islands to the fog-filled streets of Victorian London. There they encounter grisly murder, vanishing ladies, radioactive elephants, and the Holy Ghost himself. And that's not even the half of it.
Thoughts
I absolutely loved this book and found it absolutely hilarious. The writing is just hilarious and you just find yourself breezing through this book.I love The Pirate Captain, and he has to be the worst Pirate Captain ever, but you just can't, not like him, and really want him to be successful on his missions.
I also love The Pirate with a Scarf, he knows his Captain doesn't know what he is doing but he tries to lead him down the right direction.
I loved the story, and how Defoe linked it in with the historical figures (Charles Darwin, and P. T Barnum).
Overall, this is such a fantastic story, with great characters, and such a good laugh, watch out for a review of the sequel in the near future.
