I loved Master and Commander too, and I really wasn't expecting it to be so funny, so sly, and just so damn good. I've heard from a friend who's read a couple more into the series that the first one is really scattered compared to the rest, perhaps a function of not really being sure it would develop into a series and wanting to cram as much variety in as possible. My friend said that subsequent books are much more focused.
