Reseñas
good story but long
Historybuff1066
A good story with humor and action. Unfortunately the male narrator's cadence does not fit the meaning of the sentences and you have to strain to get the meaning. I found this distracting and annoying. The storyline redeemed it for me, but that may not be the case for everyone.
loved this book
