Title: Historically accurate but Dull as hell....
Product review: Normally, the genre of historical fiction is a very interesting read. However, in this book, it is, for lack of a better term, quite boring. If you're looking for a breezy read, this isn't the book you want. If you're looking for accuracy and a story that may be better in movie form, here's your screenplay. Demos' format of breaking up the flow of the book with actual quotes, manuscripts, and other correspondence really takes away from what could be an interesting and quite intriguing story of an upscale colonial Massachusetts family torn apart when a daughter is not "redeemed" from her savage captors and in fact assimilates their culture. Good story...Bad reading.
