I received this book for free in exchange for a review. It was a struggle to fulfill my end of the bargain - it took me almost a month of bedtime reading, and I'm usually a fast reader. If I had not promised to review I would have bagged it. First, it needs editing and basic proofreading. The reader is subjected to errors like 'her bear(bare)shoulder and trite phrases like 'call of nature' - as if we really need to know that a character went to the bathroom during a party. There is an interminable party scene where not much happens except repeated references to peach flavored punch.The subject matter was interesting, which is why I rated it a 2. I think it's a little obsolete these days, though.The epilogue was the only section which was well-written and interesting. I wondered if it was the same author.Keep writing, John, but modernize your language and get an editor!
