Still in progress, but I am finding that the reading vacillates between overly descriptive and too clinical/dry. I'm interested in the story, but it definitely sometimes reads as a textbook. I will agree with the previous reviewers who stated it needs copy editing, but I did like the authors forward about how he made the choice on the written language within the book.

I did get the adult version for free, and for the price I am happy with the book. I think that I just wanted more. More detail, more description, but told like a story, not textbook. I'm not in danger of throwing in the towel any time soon though.

Pirates of Savannah The Birth of Freedom in the Low Country Tarrin P Lupo 9781937311001 Books Reviews

This novel is the story of Patrick Willis; his journey from a squalid debtor's prison to the ultimate freedom of sailing the seven seas as a pirate.

Patrick's father had died leaving his family in debt. While trying to pay his father's debts, Patrick loses the last of his family's wealth.

At this time in history, James Oglethorpe, a British reformer, has founded the Georgia colony as an alternative for imprisoning debtors.

As luck would have it, Patrick is selected to travel to Georgia as an indentured servant.

In Georgia, Patrick's contract is purchased by Archibald Freeman. Freeman is a member of a clandestine group of individuals who are fighting the tyranny of the British.

As the story progresses, Patrick learns more about freedom. He comes to learn that pirates at sea possess the ultimate in individual freedom. Patrick, along with others, form a free society known as the Pirates of Savannah.

I advise readers of this novel to peruse the front matter and preface of the book. this will inform the reader of the author's political beliefs. This will enhance the reader's understanding of the novel and the motivations of the characters.

I was somewhat disappointed in this novel. I was expecting a novel of pirates. There were pirates, but they entered the plot late in the story. I found it interesting that Lupo's pirates supported their freedom with criminal acts such as piracy and prostitution.

Additionally, I did not like the author's narrative style.

For me, not a bad book, but it could have been better.
Author Tarrin P Lupo takes the reader on a fascinating journey with the lead character Patrick from the horrors of 1700’s London debtor’s prison, to a pirate ship, with the goings on above and below deck, sparing no details of the hardships of life during this time. Once Patrick reaches land, he begins to make friends with others in Savannah, all there for reasons of their own, with their own troubled lives, but manage to stick together during a time that every decision made one day is to stay alive the next day.

After finding his true love, they travel with his wife, who is the captain of the pirate ship, a rarity of the times. Later he is reunited with his sister in the New World, and later make a great treasury find. After facing many dangerous battles, losing many friends, but finding his place in the world, he moves on with his wife to make the best of their lives to live to the fullest.

The strengths of this book are the very well written and detailed scenes of the lives of the people during this time. Warfare is hardly the only enemy of pirates; disease and starvation on the open seas plaque many ships. He also gives great detail of the battles on land and sea, in a violent, dangerous time when only the strongest can survive.

After the ending the author provides and excellent piece about what was and was not fiction in the novel, something I found to be very interesting and added depth to the story.

Readers, if you’re looking for an action-packed story that shows not only the glory, but also the real hardships of pirate life, this book’s for you. I can say I’ve learned a lot from it, and it’s a smooth, easy read, so check it out. Five stars!
The book is a fun read. The final product is hard to classify. The realistic and harrowing scenes of the debtors' prison, battle and execution scenes, etc. are gritty enough for any action novel. The book then strays into a descriptive and narrative style that is very remeniscent of adolescent romance novels. 'With one leap Jack was free' sort of thing!
Also got very bored with perhaps the worse display of writing speech in the style of the nationality of the speaker. There were Irish, Scottish, Jewish, etc. that sounded exactly the same to me. Basically the 'the' became 'da' and they' became 'dey' Bottom line is they all sounded like the Muppets Swedish Chef reciting recipes. Would have prefered a basic simple, accent-free narrative. Most of the pirates actually used the famous 'Long-John Silver' 'Arrrrr' before speaking.
My patience was truly stretched when the pirate captain declares that a fleet will be built that will take on board as crew all the unwashed, unwanted and persecuted in the region and dedicate their efforts to establish freedom in the land. Yeah, right.
Characters tended to be larger than life, including claymore wielding, kilt wearing (in the swamp!) Scotsmen, drunken, toothless, violent Irishman and a tattooed, whore, pirate captain with a heart of gold. Their behavior, speech and motives often preposterous and wildly over the top.
That said; the plot certainly does bounce along and it kept me interested enough to read to the end and find out how it all turns out. I enjoyed the original historical, geographical setting which is not very often covered. Best of all, for a self-published work, the final product was well proof-read and suffered very few of the dreadful typos, bad grammar, etc. frequently encountered in this genre.
Definitely worth a read I'd say!
