"...the American Ambassador, Gerard, who later recalled: ‘The Kaiser talked rather despondently about the war. I tried to cheer him up by saying the German troops would soon enter Paris, but he answered, “The British change the whole situation—an obstinate nation. They will keep up the war. It cannot end soon.’”"

Enjoying it.

Quite riveting so far.

riveting

I'm enjoying this so much, I don't want it to end.

tense story!

I picked it up almost randomly, and the kindle sample was good enough to make me buy the book. And apart from the minor fact that the author/editor doesn't have a good relationship with the comma, I am really enjoying it!

I ground to a halt with this one about three quarters through. it became quite tense, a testament to the skill of the author. :) In the meantime I've been reading lots of other (shorter) books.

I started reading this book quite a while ago, but stopped reading just before Part 3, because it is just so *tense*.

tough going, not written for the general public

...

at the best part of the book IMO, Lydia has run away with Wickham and everybody is in an uproar, hehehe

Mr Darcy just asked Elizabeth to marry him, and she gave him that fantastic put down. HAH

I'm reading my way through Jane Austen' books. Left my favorite for last. :)
