★★
reread as audiobook (English)

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the Dutch version was better 💀 the inaccuracies are actually astounding, it's like the person who wrote it skimmed the movie and then let their imagination do the rest 😅 and there were so many jokes and sentences partially added in so they don't make sense anymore smh

physical read (Dutch)

The writing quality was pretty crap but I literally do not care (I read a Dutch version) I had a ridiculous amount of fun with this

I thought the book Pirates Of The Caribbean Curse Of The Black Pearl was very discriptive and was a great story. It told everything just as if you were there.I think it was a great book because it was adventures and very interesting.I think you should read this book because it is very adventures and has a little bit of history in it.It also has a little bit of mystery in it.I think you should check out this book because it has suspense and it has everything has a good story needs.

Pirates of the Caribbean: the Curse of the Black Pearl by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio is a fiction book that talks about a group of pirates in the Caribbean.

The story is very interesting. It has a lot of events and actions. It talks about a huge black ship is filled with a group of pirates. The pirates are not real humans. They transform when the fog becomes thick to skeletons and can't die. They were looking for medallions to become real people. There were a city is governed by Swann. The story starts when Elizabeth stole the last medallion that the pirates were looking for it.

Elizabeth stole the medallion from Will Turner when she was sailing back to Port Royal city. After a period of time, the pirates came back to Port Royal city to get the medallion back; they ruined the city by gunners and killed a lot of people. At that time there was the best captain in the jail, his name is Jack sparrow. After that, the pirates kidnapped Elizabeth with the medallion to invoke the mission; to become real humans, they have to take the medallion and the one who has it to a specific place in the sea. Jack sparrow had been got out by Will Turner to help him pursue the pirates.

Turner and Jack Sparrow have many attributes that I like. Turner makes swords and he has a high quality skill in fighting. No one can beat him. He was lovable in Port Royal. In addition, Elizabeth has things for him and he does too.

Jack Sparrow spends most of his time in a sea. He liked sailing a lot so; he has a comprehensive background about seas and pirates. He is very brave and he likes helping people.

Turner loved Elizabeth. Turner is handsome and a skilled fighter. They were interested in each other when they were children.

Turner and Elizabeth are the most important character in the story and Jack sparrow too. Jack helped Turner to save Elizabeth from the pirates. Because of Jack's experience in piracy, he could find out where the pirates were hiding.

This book is hands down the best book i have ever read in my life. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat as its action packed and emotionaly riviting. This book is very exiting and i recamend it to anyone who has enjoyed the movie.Through the book there is a lot of sword fighting and mild violence.The setting of this book I imagine it is beautiful.

3.5/5

Nie nastawiać się jakoś super pozytywnie do tych książek, bo to po prostu opisane filmy. Ja kocham Piratów i było spoko :) Jedyne co bym zmieniła, to żeby konkretne zdjęcia były w tym momencie, gdzie dzieje się akcja, a nie na końcu.

[Dagmara Bałys · Rating 2 out of 5]

Książka idealna dla każdego fan filmów " Piraci z Karaibów". Pełna humoru, wartkiej akcji I ukochanych postaci. Fenomenalne było to jak dobrze wykreowane są postaci. Polecam najpierw obejrzeć film, a potem przeczytać książkę. Ocena: 4.5⭐

My favourite pirates movie of all time!!

[Layne Young · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good but I'd TOTALLY rather just watch the movie.

Сагата „Карибски пирати”, която покори не само седемте морета, но и боксофис класациите отново е тук! И далеч не говорим само за петата серия от филмовия франчайз! Тъкмо за премиерата на „Отмъщението на Салазар” от „Егмонт България” щурмуваха книжарниците с няколко книги. Една от тях, „Най-ярката звезда на Севера”, е своеобразен пролог към новата лента. Нея вече ви представихме. Останалите пък са романизациите по петте филма „Карибски пирати”. Ето ви перфектен начин да си „преговорите” сюжета на предните глави в шеметните морски приключения на Джак Спароу и компания. Започваме, разбира се, с Проклятието на „Черната перла”!

People always say the book is better than the movie... I think this proves them wrong lol That's not to say this book was bad, it was pretty good and filled me with happiness. But that's mostly because I've seen the movie a dozen times. I really think the movie was better.

The book was just so short and seemed to speed through the plot as if the author waited until the last day of their deadline to write this. It's a shame because we could have gotten so much more lore and information about the world and the characters.

[Leigh · Rating 5 out of 5]

For a novelization, this one was really well done and nuanced. I think Irene adapted the screenplay in a really nice way that didn't have that oddly clipped sameness that others I have read do. This was a library borrow but I scavenged the next two from a used book shop.

I am doing all of this for an extended scene in one of the last books. I've done more for less. Really enjoyed this!

M’a donne envie de revoir le film ! Une retranscription parfaite de celui-ci. Même si impossible de capturer le charisme et la folie du capitaine Jack Sparrow à l’écrit. Un super moment de lecture rapide et efficace.

[Leyla Zafire · Rating 3 out of 5]

Tuve que leerlo para una clase y... ¿Qué puedo decir? Me dieron ganas de volver a ver la película 😂 Estuvo okay. Fue como un resumen de la obra original.

(Fun fact: antes de empezar este libro, jamás me había visto las primeras 3 películas)

[Megan · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's been awhile since I've seen the movie so I forgot how good the story is! This is an adventure story to solve the curse of the Black Pearl and remain alive in the process. It's a great adventure story with a satisfying conclusion.

I read this book due to a Movie Novelization prompt from a reading challenge. If you have seen the movie then this book is pretty much an exact copy. Irene Trimble did a very good job adapting the movie into a book and if you are someone who prefers reading to movies, I would give this book a try.

По скоро 4,5 звезди.Книгата беше хубава,но не ми хареса толкова много като филма.

I honestly didn't read it. I LOVE the movie, so I know the plot by heart. But I do own the book.

Brilliant because it was basically the film, and I still love the film!

Фантастична!!! Какво по-хубаво от книги по брутално яките филми от поредицата. Преди години си взех всичките книги и не съжалявам.

Read to see if it would be good for my kid. It’s fine.

There wasn’t anything really special about it I just needed to catch up on my reading goal, I much prefer the movies.
