   waste of money, this story has been told before

   Format:Paperback

   many convoluted story lines that just don't cohere. Vivid descriptions, but adds nothing to story. In the end it is just a long trite tale.

   TEDIOUS

   Format:Hardcover

   As the title suggests, I found this book tedious. Too much information about characters, which became boring, the language left me floundering. I had not much idea of what was being said at times, especially the language used by the crew (1st mate, Captain ) of the Ibis, found myself skipping these, probably important rambings.
   To sum up, Long, overworded, boring mostly and quite tedious.

   WORST BOOK I EVER READ

   Format:Hardcover

   I love books with a historical theme. This book was complex and the use of words that were not easily understood, to the point that a dictionary/glossary was added to help with pronunciation and meaning. Not what I expected at all. The ending was very disappointing, almost to the point that it seemed rushed to get it done. terrible,awful.

   Sea of Poppies

   Format:Hardcover

   I loved Amitov Gosh's book "The Hungry Tide" but he doesn't do as well with history.
   Their is nothing I liked about this book.
