The book is fascinating, but very long. I had to read it in small sections, but for history buffs, it's a great read.
I'm a big Horatio Hornblower fan, so it was interesting to hear about merchant shipping it the same era. Plus the glossary is very helpful - actually more helpful than the Horatio Companion & biography.
