Maybe because you have no sense of humor?

I read this book.
It was like reading a technical manual with the occasional humorous footnote. Or a Math lecturer who likes to wake his class up by throwing in the occasional F word or "Booyah!".
Not a book I would recommend.
But then, Jaws wasn't exactly Moby Dick and look how that turned out. So the movie may actually be good. It's got to be better than the book. That's practically guaranteed.

@DukeAcureds

Your synopsis is pretty much on point. I still enjoyed the book.

"Pirate-ninjas" though. Shudder...
