I love books that deal with history, and this book is chocked full of history. The down spots of this book is that in several spots it gets to involved with one subject and stays there too long. Thus causing me, the reader to become bored and lose interest. Overall the book was very good and kept me interested enough to read the second book "This is the house of Kingsley Merrick".
