Blackbeard's Ghost by Ben Stahl

An enjoyable and easy read. The language is a little too "Pleasantville" in that there is an overuse of exclamations such as "jeepers", "golly" and their ilk. If the language weren't quite so cute, it would be a better book.

Blackbeard's Ghost by Ben Stahl

This is described on the cover as "hilarious" but I found the opening, and especially the death of the witch involved with Blackbeard, depressing. So far I have not brought myself to read more.

Blackbeard's Ghost by Ben Stahl

Interesting, as usual, to see the difference from the movies.
