The problem with historical fiction, especially when dealing with modern history, is that every second page gives you a Forrest Gump moment. The character's been through it all! After plodding through the initial pages of History 101 replete with seemingly irrelevant backstories, the plot has finally started to gain traction.
Here's hoping the so far quite-easily-put-downable book stops being so from here on.
