The Pirate Captain is brilliant!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
These short books are drop dead funny...it's not easy to commit slap-stick to paper, and Dafoe nails it every time.
Laugh Out Loud Funny!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I've never laughed out loud while reading until I came across Defoes' Pirate books. If you are a fan of Monty Pythons and other similiar british humor, you will love these books.
Sexy - Karl Marx vs. Pirate Captain!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Maybe the best in the series (and educational; best way to attract a girl, beard pomades, political ideology). Funny and wonderful - can't wait for the next 27 volumes.
Salty Socialsim meets Marxist Mania
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Belay your search for a salty tale of Socialism and Intrigue, and batten on to this slender tome! Russian Monarchists may want to avoid this book, as Karl Marx is a central character. The Pirate Captain embarks upon a perilous journey through London and Paris as he is mistaken for a Marxist and must save his crew from terrible Socialist plots. Written in the best homage to Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance", this series continues to delight and titillate the salty senses of the sea-faring soul. Practice reading in an authentic pirate voice, and have some cured ham handy for snacking.
Another great installment
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Our third voyage with the pirates! This time wtih communists! Our journey begins in London and ends in Paris with the hearty crew. Back again are the pirate with a scarf, the pirate with gout, the pirate with a hook for a hand, the pirate who wore red, the pirate who wore green... and Jennifer. We also get to meet the pirate who likes kittens and the pirate with bedroom eyes. All lead by our evidently philisophical Pirate Captain. They hook up with Engels & Karl Marx (who evidently looks just like the Pirate Captain but hairier). Throw in some statuesque blondes, Wagner operas, and a mysterious fog-shrouded giant and your off on another romp! Add in some philosiphizing and there ya go. Did I mention you learn how to play Pop-Up Pirate?
