Title: Sorely tempted to toss it against the wall
Review: While the concept for the story was intriguing it fell flat in execution. Ms. East seems to have forsaken the novelists' creed "show don't tell." Perhaps the author couldn't decide if she were writing a romance novel or a history text. Dialog is almost non-existent. Most of the book is a simple recitation of events. There are quite a few instances of unwieldily repetition. A good editor might have repaired the poor proofreading and kept the story concept on track. In spite of the depth of research, this one is a candidate for the wall-banger hall of fame.
