Reviews

[Elizabeth · Rating 1 out of 5]

Dreadful job of editing. I realize that you get what you pay for, and this was free, but it really makes me angry.

[Carl Hyam · Rating 3 out of 5]

I fancied something different, not bad to start with, but I got halfway through and there was an extensive bit about a battle and I lost interest. Sorry Mr Grote

[Debbie Carnes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Being a lover of history and living in England for years, I really enjoyed this book.

Mr Grote makes you feel like you are a part of the story.

I look forward to reading more books by Mr Grote.
