2.0 out of 5 stars moonfleet by Katy Stevens, May 6 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Moonfleet (Hardcover)

Moonfleet is a well written book once you get past the long- winded introduction. I'm sure this book would have been very popular during the 19th centuary, but as i am only 12 i found it very hard to understand some of the words, and personnally i do not enjoy reading a book with a dictionary near by at all times. When the book begins John trenchard (the main character)is 15 and lives with his aunt in the village of moonfleet, a village with many tales of smugglers and pirates, including the worst of them all - the legendary blackbeard. the story is about john and his adventures, all related to the treasure belonging to blackbeard. If you enjoy long hard words with a book that tells an ok tale then this book is for you but i really wouldn't recomend it to children.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Review of Moonfleet by Lucy Crabtree, May 6 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Moonfleet (Hardcover)

Moonfleet is a good book once you get into it, but it takes quite a long time to do that. The first 3 or 4 chapters are a little boring but once the story unfolds things start to get interesting. The book is set in the 1700s and is about an orphaned boy called John Trenchard who lives in the village of Moonfleet, which is full of smugglers, with his aunt. One day he finds a locket that once belonged to the legendary pirate Blackbeard, and his life becomes very different. If you want to find out what happens after that, you will have to read the book!
It has got some quite hard words in it, but I think that this book is quite suitable for children aged 10 and over and adults might enjoy it, too.
