Title: The Fate of the Adverbs
Review: Mark Twain said, "I have an aversion for adverbs. I will not take adverbs from a stranger." I agree. The Fate of the Romanovs is propelled by adverbs and, as a result, is hopelessly overwritten and under-convincing. I suppose the authors should be commended for attempting to make their account read more like fiction, but so does Snoopy each time he begins with, "it was a dark and stormy night." The book (and, suspiciously, even some of the reviews) are "wrought" with hyperbole--as if the authors looked to Roget repeatedly for new ways to write, "threatening." Their perpetual dramatization makes it difficult to ferret out their research or the facts. I surrendered.
