Welcome to Maureen’s Books Wednesday’s
Favorites. In the
Wednesday’s Favorites post I will talk about a book I loved and that I
think
deserves a little more attention. I read popular books, but also many
books
that aren’t so popular (yet). In this post all sorts of books from all
sorts of
genre’s will have a chance to shine. Today’s Wednesday’s Favorites is
‘Hook’ by K.R. Thompson, a book I read in January 2015.
The Book:
dreaming of adventure. Today, it found him.
Caught in a chilly October storm, he ducked into a tavern, hoping to escape the
rain. What he found, was a room teeming with pirates. Shanghaied by the most
elderly of the lot, Archie found himself serving on a ship captained by the
fiercest pirate ever to sail the seven seas–the man known as Blackbeard.
Through a series of thrilling twists, Archie finds himself captain of another
of Blackbeard’s ships, the Jolig Roger. In an attempt to flee danger, his ship
becomes lost under stars never before seen.
Determined to save both his crew and the woman he loves, Archie will make
decisions that will forever seal his fate.
Discover the untold story of the man who became Captain Hook.

myself rooting for the misunderstood pirates, who, in spite of their wicked
ways, had a code of honor that they never broke.
five-star story with vivid, interesting characters. This version gives an
enlightening view of how Captain Hook emerged, as well as an explanation for
the animosity between Peter and Hook.
hoped it would be, but it was still a great read. Like I said before, it’s very
difficult to write a story about characters who are known around the world so
my expectations where much too high. But this story was not disappointing, it
was enjoyable and if you are a fan of Captain Hook you will definitely like
this one.
