Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - perfect gift
This was a gift for my parents who watched the series on tv, and they love having the complete dvd set.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent collection
This is an excellent collection of classic literature, goes a little awry of the book, but not too much. The acting for the most part was very good and as a whole it is very entertaining. Another job well done for A&E!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Terrific series
Well done and well acted. Even all my kids liked it.Shows what honor means and how to be honorable.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Outstanding Mini-series!
If you are a naval history buff this is a must have! Amazon's fair pricing and fast shipping.....arrived promptly and in excellent condition.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Reluctant hero Hornblower...outstanding...5 stars!
A&E does C.S. Forester's tales of Horatio Hornblower proud. Each of the eight discs in this set of made-for-TV movies are outstanding pieces of work.

The main character in the series is Horatio Hornblower. Hornblower is a reluctant hero who acts mainly to prove to himself that he is not a coward, just as he is described in Forester's books. As Hornblower acts he learns to become an effective officer and leader in the heyday of the Royal Navy's age of sail.
