Entertaining and funny yet, the mystery wasn't play out well. Eddie didn't get on to ship until near the end. It been awhile since I read the first two books in the Eddie Dickens Trilogy. I found that Terrible is the weakest in plot.

I understand why Eddie had to go to America and not his parents. That was done well but, there was not a lot of action. I am saying that the story could have been a little bit longer.
I like the interesting fact that I didn't know about. I like it when I learn from book whether their fiction or nonfiction.

What annoys me, and this is just the inner sailor in me. The fact that they called what stir the ship a wheel. A wheel. I'm sorry, the correct term is a helm.
Maybe the author is trying to bounce out his knowledge making realistic that not everyone knows everything in all the areas of expertise. ( )

Still as funny as the first two parts and I just love Even Madder Aunt Maud and her stuffed stoat Malcom (or is it Sally?). And for some reason I got the American edition of the books from Amazon Germany and there is this really delightful glossary for Americans in the back of the book (in all three parts actually). ( )
