They’re back!!! The Pirate Captain and his irascible crew of scoundrels return in their soggiest saga yet.Fresh from their mishaps with Charles Darwin and the evil Bishop of Oxford, the Pirates set sail in a bouncy new vessel——purchased on credit.
In order to repay his debts, the Pirate Captain is determined to capture the enigmatic White Whale, hunted by the notoriously moody Ahab, who has promised a reward.
Chaos ensues, featuring the lascivious Cutlass Liz, the world’s most dangerous mosquito, an excerpt from the Pirate Captain’s novel in progress (a bodice ripper, of course), whale ventriloquism, practical lessons in whale painting, a shanty-singing contest in a Las Vegas casino, and a dramatic climax in which the Pirate Captain’s prize ham saves the day! Move over, Herman Melville.
Thoughts
I really enjoy these books, I find them absolutely hilarious. I had previously read these before but stopped after the third book so wanted to re-read them and carry on with the series.This one so far has been my favourite of the books so far, I found this one just side-splittingly funny.
I love the Pirate Captain, he is just so totally inept at his job, that it is what makes these books so funny. The cast of characters just seem to bring something to the book.
I love the writing of these books, they flow so well and are just so easy to follow, and with the book being just over 200 pages, they are a quick read.
Overall, a good book, and if you are wanting a giggle, this is a good book to pick up.
