Bruno Mugnai asked Denise Longrie:

Good Morning Madame, I was wondering why a reader of fantasy, poetry and paranormal gives only three stars to a book such as the Austrian Cavalry of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. What did you not like? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Denise Longrie Good morning. Three stars means "I liked it." (four stars means "I really liked it" and five "It was amazing.") It was meticulously researched, nicely illustrated, and contained endless details. However, it was also quite dull at points, even if it was also entertaining at other points.

I was reading it for research for a historical fiction book. I'm not a student of military history or the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. I found fantastic information that would be difficult to find elsewhere, which was one reason why I was willing to buy such an expensive book.
