Appraise Based On Books Lieutenant Hornblower (Hornblower Saga: Chronological Order #2)

A very good book, very enjoyable, I would like to read more of these Horation Hornblower books.

This review is for the complete 11-book series of THE HORNBLOWER SAGA by C.S. Forester, which I just finished reading last night.[Note: Individual books have individual star ratings (mostly 5-star, a few 4-star), but the descriptive review will be the same for each, and encompass the entire series, as follows.]Actually, I just finished reading the complete series for the second time, the first being as a teenager some 30 years ago.It's remarkable to me that I have only just this moment realized

I love Horatio Hornblower- both the character created by C.S. Forester and the series. I've now read books 1,2 and 10. I began with 10 and found I like it so much that I'm going back to the beginning. This book was enjoyable because I'm a Navy man and the exploits and heroics of the main character make it nearly impossible to put down. It's non-stop action and adventure. If you crave action and excitement in a 19th century nautical setting, then you'll love this series. In this book HH starts

We start the story in what seems a few years on from his release from captivity at the end of the previous novel. This part of the saga focuses on the precarious nature of life as a sea officer. The suffering at the hands of a mad captain and just how quickly one's dreams of succession and promotion can be dashed over mere unfortunate circumstances beyond one's controls

I love all the Hornblower stories and movies too. I recommend them highly to all readers who enjoy a rollicking sea story of old written by a consummate author. His books are classics and the movies exciting and really enjoyable.

I am so glad I never read the Hornblower books when I was younger, since I get to enjoy them as fresh reads now. It must be redundant to say what an interesting character Forester has created and how well he integrates the history. I have read most of the Patrick O'Brien books, and it is unavoidable to compare the two series, a common element of which is the arbitrary and often unfair nature of a life controlled by the politics of the British navy. In my view, both series are great escapist

An excellent writen book, based within Hornblowers early career period, the story line is what you expect from this Era, if you are a fan of the TV series, you will love this book, adventure, is all there, (no spoilers about story) very well written, the story keeps the reader concentration, very entertaining, the story flows at good speed, (for me it is a sort of Shaun Bean, Sharpe on water). Really enjoyed this book, will be reading more of the series, no editorial errors, nice book cover.
