Rating:
This book is a classic! I really enjoyed this book because there is thrilling action, interesting and well described characters, and a great plot. I think the characters were interesting because the book takes place in the 18th century and their lives and actions are totally different from ours. One thing I disliked about the book was the language used. The book was written a long time ago, so it was sometimes hard to understand the way people spoke then.
