This is one of my all time favourite books and has been for the last 5 years. The story is amazing, the characters are interesting and the whole story itself is enjoyable and so different from everything else I have ever read (which is something we all look for really). This book really helped me out in a crucial time of my life and re-reading it makes me enjoy it more everytime. I would advise this to anyone that enjoys reading something that goes against the norm or has a love of piratical antics with some great twists thrown into the mix.
