Each two page spread focuses on one scoundrel and is a feast for the eyes but delivers little actual content. Three or four paragraphs are dedicated to detailing the highlights of each pirate's non-glamorous career. The rest of the spread is dedicated to filling in spaces using short asides and illustrations. Overall, the book is entertaining to look at, but it is not a great source for much in-depth information. It may be useful as a starting point for children interested in the condensed versions of the vocations of some of the most feared pirates of the 16th and 17th centuries such as Black Bart, Henry Morgan, Blackbeard, and other infamous rogues.
