Explanation Concering Books The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists (The Pirates! #1)
Not since Moby-Dick... No, not since Treasure Island... Actually, not since Jonah and the Whale has there been a sea saga to rival The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists, featuring the greatest sea-faring hero of all time, the immortal Pirate Captain, who, although he lives for months at a time at sea, somehow manages to keep his beard silky and in good condition.Worried that his pirates are growing bored with a life of winking at pretty native ladies and trying to stick enough jellyfish together to make a bouncy castle, the Pirate Captain decides it's high time to spearhead an adventure.
While searching for some major pirate booty, he mistakenly attacks the young Charles Darwin's Beagle and then leads his ragtag crew from the exotic Galapagos Islands to the fog-filled streets of Victorian London. There they encounter grisly murder, vanishing ladies, radioactive elephants, and the Holy Ghost himself. And that's not even the half of it.

A quick, funny, and entertaining read.I would rate this 10 stars if I could. Delightfully amusing with numerous laugh out loud moments. 'Pffft! I've made a few mistakes myself, like the time I let a cannibal join the crew. And the other time when I said, "well i don't see any hurricane." I'm not perfect'Brilliant!!
The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists is such a delightfully fun adventure. The whimsy and wacky fun really recharged my reading batteries. Its the kind of book that could appeal to almost all ages and everyone could find a little bit of something that theyd love about this book. Theres a lot of piratical adventures, jokes, various preparations of ham and, as the title suggests, a lot of stuff about science. The Pirates have gone far too long without an adventure and are resorting to in
This is a book about...PIRATES! Defoe is both creative and funny. Blame it on Disney but I pictured Johnny Depp as the captain. Simply a fun read.
Words To Consider Before Embarking on A Piratical Adventure With Scientists:LubberPirateHamStarboardSloopGalleyIf you feel you are not yet ready to become entangled with these and other similar words you may want to spend a week in your local library's section on Pirates! for Dummies before picking this book up.Aaarghh! That scurby knave, Gideon Defoe, is some sort of comedy genius, his debut novel reads like a Frankenstein's monster-type creation that is part Lemony Snicket, part Douglas Adams,
This book is just a lot of fun. It's so silly. I suppose it is supposed to take place in Victorian England but really to me it's anachronism. I sampled this on my kindle first before purchasing it. And this line, causing me to laugh out loud and read it to my husband, made me buy it: "They also respected him because it was said he was wedded to the sea. A lot of pirates claimed that they were wedded to the sea, but usually, this was an excuse because they couldn't get a girlfriend or they were
Relentlessly unfunny. I see a lot of people liked this book which is why I got it, and I had such high high hopes, because I see there's a bunch of them, but count me out. Dad jokes, dad jokes everywhere. This is typical for the humor: "'So there's two pirate boats sailing towards each other,' said the short pirate with the thick black spectacles, 'and one of the boats is carrying all this blue paint. And the other pirate boat is carrying all this red paint. They crash, and you know what
