The Pirates!
review 1: After reading about Napoleon, and feeling like DeFoe was off his mark a bit in the humor section, and then seeing that pretty bad movie about the pirates--which really took out the great wit and adult humor writing of DeFoe--I was pleasantly surprised to find that he had written a new work. And it was GLORIOUS! Right back where he started. Nearly a giggle a page for me. At one point, my Financee and I were nearly crying it was so hysterical. Note to DeFoe--Stay away from film and write books. I can't wait for the Pirates in an adventure with the Anarchists! Love Ted. PS. Please keep writing these. I so love them.
review 2: Four stars because the Pirate Captain is my road guard. (Er, ocean guard. Whatever.) Four stars because Gideon Defoe is the Mozart (the real
... more Mozart, and I suppose, bits of the Tom Hulce Mozart) of the numbered footnote. Four stars because the unusual shape of the Toblerone is no match for the tempests that rage in a man's soul. Mostly, though, it's four stars because "...Romantics" is as funny as the idea of a ham getting bitten by a vampire and turning into a hampire. I haven't laughed this hard since Team Edward and Team Ham last duked it out. less

More coherent than the Adventure with Ahab. I found myself laughing out loud a couple of times.

Best of the Pirates! books since the original An Adventure with Scientists!

Ahhh, the Pirate Captain and crew: just zany as ever. Bliss.

The Pirates! are always an entertaining read.

The adventure and romance were minimal.
