Captain Singleton by Daniel Defoe
adventurous
challenging
dark
medium-paced
- Loveable characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.0
I wouldn't have cared for this book much (read it for class, and it's full of period-typical racism) but...
One of the major characters is a Quaker kidnapped into working for pirates who turns out to be REALLY enthusiastic about the whole piracy thing despite being a pacifist, and he and the main character develop a whole Thing™ of a relationship that seems not TOO interesting until, at the end, they abruptly swerve into what seems like the promising start of something extremely homoerotic. I am intrigued despite myself.
