Struggs is a powerful book. It is a coming of age with an historic setting British occupied Boston, to be exact. The year is 1775. the setting is great and the characters are even better. The action is intense and the author's humor is second to none.I read another reviewer that said that you have to live inside this book and that you can't multi-task while reading this book, well why would you want to multitask with such a great book in your hand? It is true there are a lot of characters in this book but that only makes the book better, in my opinion. The book is written in third person, but you still get a feel for each character. You will get a feel for not only Boston, but the Caribbean and Upstate New York. There is ship to ship action, too. It's enough to satisfy, but not like a Patrick O'Brian novel. The focus is mostly on the orphans and the privateers, and what they go though to make America free from the British. Read it --  just read it. You won't be disappointed!
