Summary: Her sails unfurled about his mast
Review: I'm sure they had the best of intentions, but one day, my mother and sister dropped off Fabio's book for me to read. The next morning, during breakfast, I started to read Pirate. Guess what? This book is as bad as I thought it would be.For instance, it is not enough that the hero (a 22-year old beefcake named Marco Glaviano) has his looks spelled out for us in great detail on the fifth page of the story. Oh no! His looks are spelled out in great detail for us every single time the heroine (a 12-year old "innocent" named Christina) chances to cast her eyes in his direction. Nary a noun goes unadorned with one or more adjectives. In itself, this may not be a such a huge flaw. However, the adjective choice, and sometimes even the noun itself, leave much to be desired. As a prime example, skim to any one of the myriad of sex scenes. By the way, Christina is 19 now, so we don't have to worry about pedophilia. In the "plunder" scenes, penises are never called penises. Oh no! They are always referred to as "manhood," "masts," "members," or once, in a passionate spurt of inspiration, a "phallus." None of these terms are used on their own. They are always preceded by such modifiers as "swollen," "magnificent," or, my personal favourite, the clinical-sounding "turgid." One memorable "plunder" scene went something like follows: "Her sails unfurled about his mast." Keen, eh? Although reading this piece of literature often set off gales of derisive laughter, I must admit that over all, Pirate is very readable, if only for its comic effect. All in all the book reminds me of cotton candy. It looks like a lot, but it only amounts to just the teensiest bit of sugar. There is absolutely no substance to it, but people buy it anyway for the sugar rush.

Summary: I agree with the reviewer that suggested this as kindling
Review: One good thing about this book is that it holds many a laughs for someone with even minimal intelligence. And onto the "plot"! You have your stereotypical beefcake named Marco, who, whenever described, holds a striking resemblence to the supposed author of this book. Marco is your average Italian pirate/womanizer who is his own boss and even the boss of a quaint pirate island somewhere in the Caribbean where prostitutes are welcome to visit and have children with Marco's crew. Marco, on one of his escapades, comes across a rather dilapidated, almost-run-by-criminals island where he saves twelve-year-old Christina, who, upon first being introduced, doesn't appear half bad. Marco gallantly swoops her and her stereotypically annoying crone of a guardian, away to his island. Blah, blah, blah, six years pass. Marco still is an irritating, virtually one-dimensional character who has to walk through doorways sideways because of his overbearing muscles (I particularly loved his episode with the mercenary-like cook and her constant want of a raise, and how he said something along the lines of "Woman! You try my temper!"), while Christina has turned into a spoiled brat. Of course, she's a voluptuous, golden-haired eighteen-year-old who is lusted after by every memeber of the crew, so all her moral short-comings are overlooked. I swear, I have never come across a .... character. And not even in the good sense of the word. There were numerous occasions where I wished I could jump into the book, punch her in the face and then laugh at her while she cried for Marco because her hair got mussed and her immaculately tiny nose was now less than perfect. All in all, you have just about every stereotype imaginable. The steamy whore who thinks she can run the hero's life. The annoying child-turned-woman who thinks she owns the hero's life because of a frivolous promise, the ugly, bearded Spanish pirate rival, the heiress of an American colony company, and her jealous guardian who wants her dead so he can get the money. I think the only likable character was the darn cheetah, who, in a Sigfried and Roy-esque manner, was a pet. And she is oh-so nicely name...Pansy. Anyone who honestly enjoyed this book needs their head examined. I got it as a gag gift, and I couldn't even get through it all, and ended skipping parts.

Summary: Truly spectacularific...
Review: This is by far Fabio's best work. The plot is so good, I just kept reading and didn't put the book down until I was done. The characters of Marco and Christina are so real and very sensual. The Caribbean setting is lush and romantic. I would love to read a sequel to this book to learn more about the future adventures of Marco, Christina and the Glaviano family.

Summary: Simply Romance..at its best.
Review: This is one book that I have read over and over. It has action, romance, and true love all in one. Never before have I wished I was Christina, with a man liked Marco wanting me. Never before have I wished this was really happening! This is simply romance, at its best.

Summary: Truly spectacularific...
Review: When theologians predicted the second coming of Christ, they were talking about Fabio. The Masculine hunk of romance novel covers proves this theory by writing one of the greatest pieces of literature to ever grace paper. This gem in a world of dirty rocks is his book entitled Pirate. How can words even begin to describe the beauty and genius held within these pages? Fabio's grasp of the English language is like the delicate, yet strong and firm grasp a flower petal has on a drop of dew. His ideas and feelings are truly that of a god among men. While reading this book, one gets the idea that Fabio could conquer the world with one fell swoop of his well-muscled and excessively-oiled arms. The plot of the book is true poetry. Fabio proves that he can create incredibly unique and innovative storylines by unexpectedly writing of a heroine pining away for a strapping, dangerous hunk. Never before has any such novel been written. Their love is forbidden, even bordering on incestuous and illegal. Yet the red-hot intensity of the chemistry between them burns hotter than a fire fueled by incredibly flammable items. When the two finally unite in love's golden splendor, the fire erupts into a burning, scorching inferno- not unlike a volcano. If ever a more innovative, unique and intelligent book than Pirate could be written, it would certainly be a sign of the apocalypse. Read this book. Savor this book. Lick the cover of this book. Feel the vibe of Fabio with every tender word. You will fall prey to his manliness...it's only a matter of time. Recommended reading for: those with severe delusional episodes, which include dating and/or someday marrying Fabio.
