Been looking for a book like this for a long while. Excellent read and well worth the time out in.
In general one suggestion I would always make for war histories is that a interactive map be made available to follow the action. It’s work but would elevate the experience to a whole new level.
I enjoyed this book and will read again ]]> Review5854681662 Wed, 20 Sep 2023 02:05:55 -0700 <![CDATA[Kanan added 'How to Kill Your Family']]> /review/show/5854681662 How to Kill Your Family by Bella Mackie Kanan gave 3 stars to How to Kill Your Family (Hardcover) by Bella Mackie
Interesting book but not funny. ]]> Review5852666746 Tue, 19 Sep 2023 06:54:42 -0700 <![CDATA[Kanan added 'Quicksilver']]> /review/show/5852666746 Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson Kanan gave 2 stars to Quicksilver (The Baroque Cycle, #1) by Neal Stephenson
Did not enjoy it. Found it dense and tedious and struggled to follow the characters and storyline.
Good to get a decent editor ]]> Review5564927511 Sun, 21 May 2023 12:07:28 -0700 <![CDATA[Kanan added 'Let Bhutto Eat Grass: Conclusion']]> /review/show/5564927511 Let Bhutto Eat Grass by Shaunak Agarkhedkar Kanan gave 5 stars to Let Bhutto Eat Grass: Conclusion (Bhutto #4) by Shaunak Agarkhedkar
This book and the entire series is a keeper. I have enjoyed reading them all and this one is a worthy conclusion.
The names did tend to get a little jumbled once in a while and a who's who of the characters would be excellent. The author's detailed knowledge of this topic (both geography and history) and the taut story construction puts him at par with the best (looking at you Le Carre').
I would strongly recommend that the author writes more of this goodness. ]]>
