1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Blackbeard; America's Most Notorious PirateBy Richard D. ThomasI would not call this a novel;but a historical account of the life and times of Black Beard. If you are interested in the subject matter the book is very informative.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great Read; Very EntertainingBy CaseyMy first pirate book read....but I'm hooked!! (get it?? "hooked"??)Konstam I'm assuming is extremely researched in early 1700 history and pirates. He writes in a very readable and entertaining way. Hard to put the book down. The topic is very addicting. I highly recommend this book!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Blackbeard biographyBy H. Joe ThompsonThe book is well written but since so much of Blackbeard's life is unknown the book is full of known references of contemporary pirates' exploits. It is definitely worth reading.
