Title: Just a bunch of smoke and mirrors
Product review: This book is not what its author thinks it is. It is tauted as a spine-tingling work of historical non-fiction, but the prose is unbareably juvenile and the story has numerous holes. You can tell this book was written by a first time author with no formal training, and that is a shame because the story had all the elements to make a great book--but the story was lost in meaningless details. There are too many characters and virtually no character development - aside from the rave reviews Syndney gives herself and her sister on everything from their hair to their education. She acts as if she and her sister are the only two college educated people in Texas. Even if that were true, you would never be able to tell it by her snore-worthy style. Do not waste your time or your money on this book.
