Title: The only thing fabulous is the title
Review: Being a fan of the AmRev/Colonial times, I really wanted to like this book. I really did. How could anyone resist such a title? Then I started reading it. I'm 100 pages into it so far, but am not sure if I'm going to finish it. Names are scattered like clover: who married whom, who's in business with whom, and so on. I guess this is to show how incestuous business dealings were back then... I guess. It seems like there's a good story in here trying to get out, but just when I think it's going to appear, Royster smothers it with more names.This is definitely more for the academic than general history reader.
