Castaways of the Flying Dutchman Discussion

[Captain Tammo]

I think this was Brian's masterpiece. It certainly was the best set of supernatural/historical fiction I've ever read... Twas a shame that Serafina died, though. Poor Ben. Brian, may he rest in peace, was the one author who got me started reading...

Brian got me reading too. I think it's sad that Ben will most likely never see serafina again, unless someone kills him. So wait, if Ben was stabbed through the heart, would he still live?

[Coobreedan]

I doubt it.

[Captain Tammo]

Ooooooo I get it now. he can still die, he just doesn't AGE

[Coobreedan]

Neb and den and Ben and Ned are the best team EVER!

I like how they completely messed up their names. Shortened them, then turned them inside out.

Cool.

I never gathered he could die, because the angel always forced Ben and Ned to move on to others who needed help.  I also felt it was to prevent suspicion that there was something unusual about him (the fact he did not age).

my second favorite series besides Redwall the first one is my favorite   

[Captain Tammo]

I simply can't decide which is my favorite, they're all awesome!

[Mad Maudie]

well my older way older sister got me voyage of the slaves from the library when i was sick so i read the last one first and i love it but i also love the first one i am still on the second so do not spoil why it is so sad i mean anaconda dies but i am sure thouron (I think that is spelled right)  does too but he is awesome

[Storm Gullwhacker]

I really liked this series. Castaways of the Flying Dutchman was my favorite.

[Rimant the Warrior]

I agree with Tammo.  I am so sad that Brian was not able to write anymore books in this series.   It was a very good well done book series and I enjoyed it when I actually started reading it.  It took my sister several attempts to get me to read that series.  I was so absorbed by Redwall that I did not want to read anything else even books written by the same author.

[Coobreedan]

I find them very hard to read compared to Redwall. I've read a bit of the first and a bit of the last.

[Mad Maudie]

he technically could not finish them i mean Ben lives forever and always oh i love Ben

[Lutra]

I think if you went long enough and enough books in the series were written, you'd be stuck with another Redwall formula of predictability, so maybe it was good that Mr. Jacques chose not to focus a lot of writing time on this series to make each story a bit more unique and less predictable.

I actually came close to having a crush on Ben. Sigh...yet another made-up book character that I have fallen in love with.

LOL Funny how that works, huh?
