Fun read. Not as funny was the first or exciting as the third.

I read this installment awhile back and I can honestly say that I don't remember much about it story-wise. All I remember is my fondness for it, which is testament to its high level of enjoyment. If you liked the first book then you should definitely pick this one up in addition to the rest of the series!

First book I read for the 24 hour readathon by Hannah from the channel Athroneofbooks, the first ever 24 hour readathon I was able to partecipate in. I need to say that I'm a very slow reader and I didn't stay up all night, but still I managed to read this book so I'm already happy.
I actually read the french edition, because in 2017 this whole series is being republished in french and I need to improve and mantain my french. This contributed to slow a bit more my reading process, but I learned a thon of words and I actually enjoyed it. The story felt very much like a transitional one, like it prepares you for the third book, which I hope I'll be able to read later today, because I'm so hyped about it. In this book I pin pointed some moments where the Jack Sparrow we all know from the movie is definetely showing and I loved that. In the middle part I could feel the frustration of my favourite captain and I got a bit bored. And the part where they killed the sea monster was quite graphic to me. So overall I enjoyed the story a lot and I tink it was well executed.

The whole thing is just Jack ranting with very little action. Still fun and interesting though.

Well, it certainly wasn't as good as the first book. :( "the siren song" has done little to move the plot forward. The crew of the barnacle, hasnt gotten much closer to their rather shady goal of finding the Sword. But! We were given a good look at Sachs of the crew members deepest wish. Yayz for a bit of character building there.

The writing is good, and jack is as arrogant as ever, but really, isn't that what makes captain jack sparrow great. :) I love when he says savy! XD I can just hear john depps voice as I read it.

An alright 2nd book but nothing great. The dialogue, especially the banter, is awesome. Its totally rob Kidd's strength. (Rob kidd is actually a pen name. I highly recommend you Read her other works under tui. T. Sutherland. I absolutely adore her wings of fire series.)

A nice quick little read for kids and any fans of the pirates of the Caribbean movies.
