I really had to force myself to finish this book. The characters were wooden, and there was little historical detail to give a sense of time and place - in fact, there was quite a bit of inappropriate contemporary language. The grammar and punctuation leave a lot to be desired, too; a good editor would have made a big difference. What kept me going? The malapropisms! Apparently the author feels that using lots of fifty-dollar words is historically correct, but their lavish misuse had me grinning all the way through.
