Wonderful! Curse of the blue tattoo is a great book, a perfect sequel to the first Bloody Jack novel.
After Jacky is kicked off the Dolphin she is sent to the Lawson Peabody School for young girls. Her goal is to become a lady. Many a blunder follows many friends as Jacky struggles to become a lady.
Definitely a girl's book, I do not recommend this to boys.
Great book, a satisfying sequel.

Let me tell you something: Creating a sequel to such a great book like "Bloody Jack", is a hard task. But, Mr. Meyer has done it, and he has done it very well. Although the second book does not have as much action as the first, it has just as good of a plot, story and theme. When i found out Mr. Meyer was to make a sequel, i asked myself, "How can he write a sequel and not have the same story line? Obviously she cannot hide the fact that she is a girl any longer, which means she cannot sail the seas. How will Mr. Meyer accomplish the task of writing a second chapter in the Bloody Jack tales? And if he does, will he be succesful?"

The Answer is, yes, this story is equally good, no, equally GREAT as the first one. Nice work Mr. Meyer.

Move over Harry, there's a new series taking over- The Adventures of Bloody Jack. The sequal to the award winning book Bloody Jack, The Curse... picks right up where the first one left off. The action packed book is as equally good or better than the first (which is my favorite book of all time). From the brillant mind of L.A. Meyer, Jacky seems to find herself in trouble throughout the countless adventures that occurs throughout this novel. The reader is introduced to many new characters and places, where at the same time a few faces from the past begin to appear throughout the story. In the end, Bloody Jack leaves you wanting more- once again! This book is perfect for any young teen or adult that needs some action or adventure in their life. This is a must read for the entire family!

I just finished Curse of the Blue Tattoo- I couldn't put it down. Meyer's second book in the Bloody Jack series might even be better than the first (and I loved the first one). The story moves quickly, I could not predict what would happen next. I don't to give anything away (I hate reviews that give away major plot points)- suffice to say that there were parts of the book that made my heart pound (and that doesn't happen very often). I am 28 years old and do not delve into the young adult category for reading very often. Curse of the Blue Tattoo is a great read for anyone, regardless of age- When's the movie coming out??

(...) Curse of the Blue tatoo is not only a icky book, its a Baaaaaaaad sequel. I don't hate Bloody Jack, its actually a pretty good book. Blue Tatoo is a stupid book. No offense meant to Mr. Meyer though. It was much too long, going on and on about how she hates her school, how she struggles to survive, how she doesn't like wearing low-cut dresses, how precious Jaimy will love her for being so prissy, blah blah bleh. It loses any resemblance to the first early on in the book. Dont read this please. (hehe i also dont like it cuz it makes us New Englanders look bad hehe)
