The Pirate Devlin

Awww i just got myself a bulgarian keyboard setup so im pretty happy. i know ive been slacking alot....well...the stupid facebook is to blame for this. Ive been posting alot there which kinda defeats the need to write here :(
Sry my dear blog!


Well now in celebration of my reunion with the BG language ill post some stuff :D

So first i wanna talk about this book called "The Pirate Devlin" by Mark Keating. Its a pirate book...obviously :D And well.....as you know i love pirates and when i saw it on the new arrivals section i got curious so i bought it. Also at the time i have been readign too much manga and i thought i should you know...get back to more serious stuff.
The book is amazing. The author tries to keep everything that happens in the book in...real time. . . and by that i mean that all events and timelines are the same as the real world`s history. And our hero Devlin is just a small fish in the big ocean.
The book has this realism to it.....it doesnt make the pirate life all that glorious....actually i learned some stuff that were a pretty big surprise to me....pirate life back in the day wasnt an easy business :X

So wee get to see how our pratagonist Devlin gets screwed up and ends up in a pirate ship. And then for the story`s sake becomes the captain of the pirate vessel where he was forced to "work" on. And then we get to see a single adventure. The whole book is about his first adventure but it is told in a superb manner!
but that also means that the book is not very long. Which is kinda good too cuz its a great weekend read for those hot days where you just wanna sit down and relax.
So im not gona spoil what happens cuz the story is not very long ...but it was very fun and it keeps you interested till the end. And there were some pretty insteresting twists in the end. Altho dont expect stuff the size of the "dark knight".

What i really loved was that tip of the hat tribute to legendary pirate "Blackbeard". Devlin meets Blackbeard in a small bar in some lawless village and gets on the mans deathlist! There was this thing with a candle that blackbeard did which i loved. So it was that moment that really hyped the character for me. Funny thing the whole time while i was reading their encounter i was picturing Blackbeard as the one drawn in the manga One Piece....ive been reading that thing for too long so i suppose it shouldnt surprise me :D

So all in all even tho this is not going to be some crazy bestseller that will blow your mind away. In the end the pirate devlin is a great pirate book that will not dissapoint you! And probably just like me ...will make you want more.
Good news is there will be a sequel somewhere in the future :)
