Okay my turn! I must say, I am majorly impressed by every one's promptness. I'm fairly sure I read up to half, but I am in KL right now and my dang plug in isn't working so I can't even access my computer to check. Oh well. Here's what I think:
It's a great story. I agree with with Marc said about lacking depth, which I found kind of difficult to really 'dialogue' about. BUT, it has lasted this long for that one reason, being a super story. Visions of Muppet Treasure Island and Treasure Planet do keep popping into my head as well (so much so that I watched the Muppet one the other day), but it's cool to finally get the real story as written.
1) Dr. Livesay is my fav character. He's just straight up and solid...I like that.
2) Long John, dare I say I can't help but like him? Okay, he's a murdering lying pirate...but he has those minute hidden good qualities right? Maybe because I've seen the end of the movies and he appears to have a soft spot for Jim. Whether or not that proves true in the book, I guess I'll see, and make up my mind then.
3) It's not slow like I expected it to be. That's pleasant.
4) Jim is a good kid. He's genuine and young and frightened at necessary times, but he's certainly not a pittiful unintelligent wimp. Amiable.
Okay. That's what I got. I also really like Glynis's interpretation of Gunn. Nobody appreciates those people.
