Quite simply, the most wonderful book I have ever read! From the opening sentence, you are drawn into the web of intrigue and you care so deeply about all the characters. Best of all, we, the reader, get to unravel the mystery with the characters- we are not let into the secret until the startling revelation near the end and then we get to see the impact on the characters but also feel it ourselves.
A book I know so many people have read and all are similarly affected by it. The storytelling narrative of life in early 20 th century from Maine to Cuba is riveting. You could be walking through the countryside with them and you are definitely on board the ship with them all- understanding the frustrations of all of them.
This is a book by which I now measure others. It is such an epic journey, you feel utterly desolate when you reach the end.

The Voyage is a wonderful story of discovery and adventure, with passages so well crafted that you just shake your head in admiration... and read them over again! Within that craftwork is a tremendously entertaining sailing adventure, with rich detail, memorable characters and thematic overtones that give you a plenty to think about.

Caputo has a winner here

This one is well-worth checking out. I'm a big fan of current 90's style best sellers like 'The Triumph and the Glory' and 'Going After Cacciato', I appreciate their candour and gritty reality. 'The Voyage' is every bit as effective in this regard. The storytelling is first-rate, the characters memorable, and the writing is first-rate.

A riveting tale. Awesome!

This is a spectacular book -- both engaging and educational. Beautifully written, the book's characters truly come to life.
P.S. Though Caputo's "muscular prose" has often appealed to men, I'm a woman and loved "The Voyage."
