I am pleased to say I thought the writer did a pretty good job at writing his character and dialogue. I was a little skeptical when I started reading this book of how well a children's book writer would do at writing a young Jack Sparrow. They take an abandoned ship, the Barnacle, and with the help of Fitzwilliam, a spoiled young Englishman in search of adventure, leave Tortuga to sail the Caribbean in search of the "Sword of Cortes," which promises wealth and power to whoever finds it.

This is the first book in a new series for young readers about the teenage years of Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean, when he first became a pirate and went off in search of treasure. And that was why I disliked it so much.more When you read a pirate book, you want suspense and violence and adventure! This book had none of that. This author also writes very poor fight scenes. This is meant to be a prequel or back story for Jack Sparrow, but after reading this I still don't know much about his background. He was just kind of there.Īnd the supporting characters were just as bland. Additionally, Jack wasn't even clever or funny in this book. The dialogue was choppy and the wording was awkward. One minute he's talking like a child, the next like a 30 year old man. The author completely butchered the characterization of Jack Sparrow. but the rest of this was just so tedious to read. The overall plot is simple and I liked that. This is meant This book managed to be everything I didn't want it to be. And the supporting characters were just as bland.

This book managed to be everything I didn't want it to be. Jack's desire early on seems to be to rid the world of pirates, or so he tells his crew, and I'm interested to see if the other books explain his apparent distaste for his future profession.more The book "sets up" familiar characters from the movies, including both Tia Dalma and Davy Jones. It has its own arc and ties in with a larger storyline as well. The book is very clearly part of a series, and while it could stand alone, there's no reason you'd want it to. Rob Kidd does an admirable job here, capturing Captain Jack's voice and mannerisms so well that I actually pictured a 21 Jump Street-era Johnny Depp acting them out. As a self-appointed Captain Jack Sparrow expert and enthusiast, I'm rather picky about folks getting him right. The The Coming Storm is a quick read, and fun.
