Only a couple chapters in. Peter hasn't yet gotten aboard ship, but there are enjoyable characters, humor and an easy to read look at early 19th century England. I imagine I'm going to enjoy and finish this. The person I got the recommendation from said that
Peter Simple or
Percival Keen were an easy starting point.
