Mr. Midshipman Hornblower by C. S. Forester

The first of the Hornblower novels, not in the order that they were written but in the order of the chronology of Hornblower’s life. I knew next to nothing about this series before I bought this book for a reason I’m still not sure of. It was an OK read, but I probably won’t be buying any more. Good adventure. Not enough that makes you think.
