I was looking forward to reading this book, since I love stories set on sea. But it turned out to be a rather boring book. Even though the idea of the story itself is nice, Powers' way of telling his story just didn't appeal to me. It all was very superficial, with no atmosphere and very flat characters. I was mostly glad when the book finally reached it's end...

We have these big beautiful snowflakes coming down right now so I pulled up a chair and am getting cozy underneath a blanket and starting Grown for #FountainOfYouth #BookClub

Amen.

🎧 Oh, wow! I love this story of piratical, swashbuckling adventure, fantastical visions conjured up with voodoo, evocative descriptions of the seas and swamps...

BUT Bronson Pinchot let me down. I had to work *hard* to get past his narration. He barrels into the story too fast, his French patois is labored, and his British accents are ridiculous.

I would love to come back to this one day but in print instead.

🎧 Starting this fantasy nautical tale today (narrated by Bronson Pinchot.) Powers sold the rights to this novel to Disney who mutated it into a Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I‘m sure the book will be better 😜
