Jessica's Review
This young adult book is a fast paced, continually moving adventure. It is clear to see that Ted Bell is a lover of history because he puts our hero, Nick, right smack into the middle of some very real events of the world's past. Mixing all of this up with a time machine, that everyone wishes they had, and throwing in a pirate, how could you go wrong?
I'll be the first to admit that I am not a history buff, and having just finished an American History course for college, I am a bit burnt out on the subject. The story of Nick McIver, his little sister and their (adult) friends made the history moments more than worth it. Anyone that does love history or adventure on the high seas is likely to fall in love with this story as well. 4/5
Kole's Review
The characters within this story were intriguing and appealing. Hawk was one of my favorites because he had a mysterious aura about him in the beginning and then quickly became friendly and even fought beside Nick in his battle. I found myself rooting for the good guys and hoping the bad ones were killed off. Although it may be a good story many parts felt unreadable since I was lost knowing nothing about the history within the story itself. It was a good tale with the time traveling adventures, the numerous battles, and the friendship of the characters. I'm happily reading the sequel, The Time Pirate http://www.amazon.com/Time-Pirate-Adventure-Adventures-Through/dp/0312578105/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1272717490&sr=8-1, next. 4/5
