Hmmm. Not one I know. By all means, let us know what you think of the narration as well as the book.

Well please do join us for the discussion around the first one too, if you can remember any of what you didn't like. Also, I recommend switching formats if you are able. If you read it, try an audio version. If you listened, try reading. Sometimes the change helps.

I hope it does. And regardless, please join us for the discussion.

Also I recommend listening to these "Music from the Aubrey-Maturin Novels" CDs while reading.
Musical Evenings with the Captain: Music from the Aubrey-Maturin Novels
Musical Evenings With the Captain 2
Musical Evenings in the Captain's Cabin

I have the first CD, but haven't the later ones. A good way to get into the mood. Please join us for the discussion even if you don't do a re-read. As
issybird said somewhere - "the more the merrier".
