Review: A Different Place in Time
Rating: 4 out of 5

I read the book because it was Brett Battles and in true form, the writing was very well done. I have a personal belief about books in general.  They are either a good story told well, a poor story told well, or a good story told poorly.  Brett comes out consistently in the first category. This particular story was a good one but I'm sure it rises to a higher level than that for a particular audience with roots, history that runs parallel to this story's theme.  This story takes place in a country flush with history and significance for some and for those that hold that affinity this story will clutch at their hearts, and at times bring memories of both good times and painful ones.  I wished that I could have done more than just imagine it as I read. In these pages, some will be able to relive and maybe even remember a life both shameful and good at the same time, but a life that I imagine was and is, even now, as real as any lived anywhere else.
