Captain Sinbad Graham Diamond Books Reviews

A swashbuckling adventure renewed for a new age.

I have few few references for Sinbad from my childhood but I have always been aware of the archetype of this character.

This tale was like reading one of the classics. Something I knew had meaning and reference in popular culture, but haven't had the chance to read. I enjoyed the vivid word building. I loved feeling as if I was there experiencing all the adventure with Sinbad for the first time.

The writing style itself was something I had not experienced much before. I generally lean towards YA, Fantasy and Sci-Fi books. This story was definitely out of my wheelhouse, but in a very good way. I loved the satirical prose that Diamond wove through this book.

To be honest, while there are, of course, elements I may have liked less than others (considering what I normally read) I enjoyed branching out of my comfort zone. And, who doesn't love an adventure tale?

I know pretty much everyone has heard of Sinbad and his many adventures. Why don't you try out this tale and see what you think? You may just find yourself on a whirlwind adventure you never want to leave. I am giving this book a rating of 4/5.
(Netgalley review copy) Graham Diamond has perfectly captured the style of the original, episodic tale of Sinbad - frame story and all. Sinbad is cast ashore in the Spain of El Cid. Rescued and cared for by the three daughters of the local innkeeper, Sinbad recounts his adventures prior to his being washed overboard, while events draw the thread of these adventures tight by reuniting him with many of the protagonists in a final battle.
Unlike the 1001 Nights' tales, there are no supernatural creatures (apart from a talking bullfrog!), but there is a wide mixture of human participants - including a Norse king and a Pirate Queen. Sinbad's episodic trials flow neatly, one to the other, and, while not strongly engaging the emotions, provide the reader with a relaxing entertainment. If you liked the original stories, then you'll like this book; that pretty much sums it up!
I reviewed this book for NetGalley.

This book was such a fun read. Mr. Diamond has perfectly channeled the Arabian Nights in this entertaining tale of Sinbad the Sailor. Everything is well done about this book - fast-moving plot, interesting characters, exotic settings, along with a lot of swashbuckling adventure.

If you want to be transported to an exotic and exciting world, read this book. A great read - reading this book is well worth your time!!!
What a treat! The author has completely taken the famous Arabian Nights character and made him his own. Poor Sinbad finds himself washed up ashore in the Land of Spain during the time of the historical liberator El Cid. Brought back to life by an innkeeper's three lovely daughters, Sinbad spins for them and you is tale of woe. There is quite a bit of adventure as you you expect, as well as some humor and a hint of satire. Timeless, and enduring, Graham Diamond weaves un into Sinbad's dilemma and makes you want to keep reading. The best of its kind.
The story was ok, but really just a rehash of The Odessey.
Entertaining story
enjoyed reading it fun story.
