150%. Make some room on that horse for me.
Certainly the best historical fiction I ever read. O'Brian paced his books methodically, weaving the accounts of daily life at sea and the relationship between Aubrey and Maturin with some of the most memorable action in literature. His accounts of naval engagements and rounding the Horn are spectacular. My whole family devoured the entire series and I plan to read them a second time.
People can opine all they want about Rocna's vs SARCAS or chain vs rope. But they should not screw with universal truths like the quality and inspirational value of O'Brian's epic novels.
