I have about 20 pages left to go, but this is one awesome recommendation by someone on this board.



Picking up the rest of the series.

Took a break from reading for a while because I've been super busy. Just got back into this one. Great so far, should be finished up by Friday.

How is it? My local Borders have the hardcover on clearance, and it looks interesting. Is it worth $6?

Definitely worth $6. Outside of hitting a slow part about 2/3 of the way through it's a very entertaining, quick (for 600+ pages) read.

Still reading De-Rossa's "Rebels: The Irish Rising of 1916"
