Title: Dull
Product review: I was hoping for some gripping tales of cads, bounders and scofflaws; what I got instead was some vague writing about people the author thinks are are cool. Granted, Mr. Whitbley's enthusiasm is a little infectious, but he persistently fails to deliver the goods, viz. why these people are cool in the first place. If you're looking for a rollicking good time, try Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle or the Flashman series by George Macdonald Fraser instead.
