Mr Midshipman Easy edition by Frederick Marryat Literature Fiction eBooks
This book was written by a retired sea captain in the British Navy, about the life of a Midshipman in the navel service. It is not long on navel jargon, or details, but colorful in its story and gives a glimpse of life on a sailing ship. It might be looked at as a coming of age story about a rather spoiled, wealthy young man, who enlists in the Navy without a clue about what he is doing. His underlying character carries him through and makes him both friends and enemies on board. This thoughts, conversations, and antics will leave you chuckling with each chapter. Just remember that this is a book written for a generation past, who loved having the time and reason for sitting down to a good story.Product details

Mr Midshipman Easy edition by Frederick Marryat Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
A quick moving, engaging story of the days when Great Britain ruled the seas with the Royal Navy and commercial shipping.
I've been reading through a number of Marryat's books lately and really enjoy them. This is another one of his nautical books. It certainly wasn't my favorite of his, but if you enjoy Marryat or nautical books, you'll find it enjoyable. It's not one of his children books and probably wouldn't be too enjoyable for readers under 14.
This character really grew on me as the book progressed. What good fortune and propensity for adventure! The glimpse into the Royal Navy in times past was informative, and has led me to find other novels of the same genre and time frame. Had more than a few good laughs!
Captain Frederick Marryat was an amazing person. Considering that he wrote these books in 1836 to 1840, his insight was amazing. I purchased his collection of 26 books, I currently am reading his opinion on his excursion to America and his opinion. Fascinating, you must read! I am sure he inspired Forester.
This is a tale read to me by my father many years ago. I gave a copy to my son in his early teens. I think it reaches that spark of adventure craved by all young men and sets their imaginations to sea, sky and beyond.
Being interested in both the genres of Royal Navy stories and nineteenth-century literature, it is no surprise that I thoroughly enjoyed this work. The first few chapters were amusing in their own way, but it wasn't until later in the book that my interest was truly engaged.
The theme of various philosophies concerning equality was interesting, and a reminder that there are often significant differences of belief from one century to the next.
This edition was very nicely done, and I thank all those who made this free copy possible! The quality was good, and did not detract from the story.
All in all, I highly enjoyed this book, and look forward to reading more of the author's works.
In this amusing romp our hero, Jack Easy, is immersed in notions of equality by his very foolish father and relentlessly indulged by both of his parents from birth onwards. Between his father's philosophy, and his parents' overindulgence, by adolescence Jack has become such a spoiled brat that even his mother can't abide him. Jack decides there is no equality on land so he will go to the high seas to find it...in the Royal Navy! Will the Navy be the making of the indomitable Midshipman Easy?
The turns of phrase often had me chuckling and were sometimes hilarious. Easy's early life and naval adventures are episodic and make me wonder if it was written by Frederick Marryat as a serial story. The number and outrageousness of these adventures began to pall after a while. Nevertheless this book is well worth reading. I am so glad these classics are being made available for free!. 3-1/2 stars
