What an epic adventure! I’ve noted a few observations in case anyone has been thinking of reading this long novel.
* My Kindle version is 1487 pages and never was I bored or did it feel longwinded.
* The prose is nothing special. It’s even a bit clunky at times. But the story took me late into the evenings and even several mornings.
* I believe this book now comes as two books. If you take a break midway, be sure to note down the characters and what was happening before you break.
* This is historical fiction but take some time to look up some of the related facts and history. For example, I ran across an interesting article on Cape Horn, Drake’s Passage and how treacherous the seas are down there.
* This book taught me how to read a long book.
