A Delightful Surprise
I selected this book because I was intrigued by the main character, Errol Flynn. Surprisingly, there are several main characters, each one having their own story to tell involving hardship, romance and civil unrest. While I thought the story lagged a bit in the middle, I stuck with it and became totally (delightfully) engrossed until the end. Kick back, relax and with the author's wonderful ability to describe Jamaica, feel the breeze on your face.

Very good
I just finished The Pirate's Daughter, and I'm still thinking about the characters and the story. To me, that's always the sign of a good book. I learned a lot about Jamaica and its history, and the writing painted vivid pictures in my mind of the island, the people, the music... I had a hard time putting the book down.

Was hoping for more
I was disappointed in the book. While I thought it started out strong, with a vivid picture of Jamaica, and strong characters, I ultimately found the characters unconvincing and the dialogue weak.

Good, But Lacking in Depth
Cezair-Thompson has done what many new authors do - she has tried to include too many story lines and historical facts in one work. While I enjoyed parts of the book such as some of the word pictures, most of the story was choppy and hard to follow. I question some of the time lines she used in relation to actual world events and happenings. Some events appeared unrelated to the setting of the story. An interesting concept and idea not executed to its fullest potential.
