The Historian

[Ckelton]

Has anyone read 'The Historian'? If so hat did you think of it and would you recommend it?

is it pants then? good thing i didn't buy it! what was it's downfall?

I finished it but it was very dull. The ideas were great and it had so many exciting possibilities but it was so amazingly slow and boring.
Really interesting tale if you can be bothered to trudge through it.

I blame Richard & Judy. They got sexy older chap Dennis Lawson to review it and I fell hook line and sinker for his silver tongue.

I'm with drchasuble...dull and slow .I plodded through it but it's a waste of time .Over hyped ..I found it a disappointing read and am glad I only borrowed it from the library.

[marley2000]

well thank you guys and thank you ckelton for asking. dick and jude got to me to and i feel foolish for trusting them now. lying pigs!x

It was PANTS, so slow it stopped several times.
If you want a masterpiece read either Shadow of the wind or The God of small things.... beautiful both of them.
