Alan Fyfe rated a book it was amazing Griefdogg by Michael Winkler	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars

3.5 stars. An interesting speculation on the life of Vergil, who has very little biographical information available to help the biographer. Ruden is always careful to clarify when she's indulging in speculation, which is great - it leaves readers cle ...more

3.5 really, which I think is around right, though I'm still deciding what I think about this book. A narrative about a normal person. Istvan tips neither into the villain nor the hero character, though at times he can act like either. Szalay's writin ...more
