For kids of all ages 22 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
This book is the equivalent of a film where you just sit down and be entertained. The story flows (excuse the pun) from chapter to chapter with just enough historical content to put it into context. The lead character is definitely swashbuckling and, as in "The Pirates Of The Carribean", the author has not needed to resort to the graphic violence which was obviously part of the piratical life of this era. There is sibling rivalry, love interest and High Seas battles to keep the storyline moving apace and an underlying mystical element which provides an interesting addition, totally in keeeping with the beliefs of the time. This was a very entertaining read and I would also like to commend Helen Hollick for using a white paper and print style which was a lot easier on the eye than usual. My only criticism is that the book was not long enough and I will certainly ordering the next one in the series.

I loved Helen Hollick's historical novels, but I do not normally like sea stories, too much technical stuff !

Sea Witch is different, as with all Ms Hollick's work, it is meticulously researched, a wonderful, full blooded adventure with a intriguing plot, authentic atmosphere and the perfect handsome, roguish hero in Jesamiah Acorne who I am certain will capture hearts all around the world.

And there's plenty of heart-stopping action to keep the male readers happy too!

Ms Hollick makes her world so vivid it like a trip in a time machine, if you want to feel the wind buffet the sails, the rise and fall of the sea beneath you, smell the hot coast of Africa on the horizon, then I urge you to read Sea Witch.

If you love pirates, this book is an absolute must read!

By Jester
Format:Paperback
I have been a Jack Sparrow fan almost since day 1 of the release of the Pirates of the Caribbean - the Curse of the Black Pearl. I live, breath, eat, sleep pirates. I was delighted to discover a new pirate novel for adults, but was a bit wary of reading Sea Witch - after all, my heart belonged to Captain Jack.

Well, it now belongs to Jesamiah as wel. I have to say I was a little disapointed with film 2, Dead Man's Chest. Yes, great film, good laughs, our Jack Back ... but there was something missing. Having read Sea Witch I realise what. We only see the surface of Jack - and the film is aimed at families and a younger audience. In Sea Witch we meet a real, grown up character, a man so real you can reach out and touch him. Being a novel Jesamiah has far more depth than Jack (much easier in a book to portray) Yes I still love Jack Sparrow, but my heart has been lost to the charming, enigmatic rogue called Jesamiah Acorne.

Ms Hollick - when will we be getting the next book in the series, Pirate Code, I believe it is called? Very soon I hope!

Jessie
