I picked this book up as an afterthought and was genuinely surprised at how good a book it was. The characters were well developed, the story of young Tom being shanghaied on a ship while still a boy of 16 and how he eventually overcomes adversity and becomes wealthy. I don't want to give the plot away because it would take away the pleasure of how the plot unfolds. Suffice it to say that this is one book you should read because once you start it you won't be able to put it down. Andrew Wareham has written a classic that should be made into a movie.
