Commentary In Favor Of Books Midshipman Bolitho (Richard Bolitho #1-2 omnibus)

Sloppy, clumsy, incompetent writing.
The characters have no depth, their actions are illogical, their feelings have to be explained in plain words because there is no skill to suggest anything, and even the word choice is frequently very unfortunate.
Nor is the plot anything special to make up for the prose quality. The hero gets pushed around - there are some failures - the mission only progresses because he takes it on himself to disobey orders and choose a better course of action - then finally the heroic hero heroically takes over the whole enterprise, which is instantly crowned with success.
Really, this thing about disobeying orders is in such demand with the adventure writers, one wonders that there was any discipline in the Navy at all. But then, obviously the adventure writers are lying embroidering.
I love naval fiction in general, but that's the only reason for my getting through this to the end.

Assessment Regarding Books Midshipman Bolitho (Richard Bolitho #1-2 omnibus)
I have read most of the Patrick O'Brian novels. Therefore, I decided to give Alexander Kent's Richard Bolitho novels ago. I must say, the Bolitho stories are also very gripping to read. This was set in the 1770s decade. Bolitho is a young teenager. A Midshipman learning the ropes among resentful superiors. Especially the 4th Leftenant in the first part of the novel. Really captures and transports the reader back through time. Very enjoyable read indeed.

I was wanting to read a great series of books concerning serving aboard naval ships during the Napoleonic age and this series fits the bill perfectly. Midshipman Bolitho is the first in a series of books much like Horatio Hornblower series. I enjoyed this first book and found the story light yet greatly entertaining. Mister Bolitho is a man who tries to do the right thing by his men no matter what and shows great character in some difficult circumstances. All in all I look forward to reading

Rather entertaining sea stories, but it really didn't keep my attention while I listened.

It is too short but still good

First in the set in the late 18th century, 1772, British naval series tracing the career of Richard Bolitho. Bolitho is 16 years old, been in the navy, a family tradition, for four years and is assigned to a 72 gun ship of the line assigned to duty off the coast of West Africa to deal with pirates.Novel is a quick easy read and is fairly short, less than 175 pages, giving you views of life in the British navy, routines onboard a ship, as well as the excitement of battle.

It is the latter half of the 18th century when Richard Bolitho joins a British Royal Navy ship as a midshipman. We hear what sounds like an authentic description of life on a navy ship, a 74 gun ship of the line. The 74 (named for its number of guns) was a mainstay of the Royal Navy. Not the largest of ships but big enough to be a ship of the line. The story here explains how it was not as fast or maneuverable as smaller frigates though.I have not read a lot of naval stories, and often find them

First in a series recommended by Dr. Grumet (who is a fan of the Aubrey-Maturin novels)
