Title: I really tried, but this one just couldn't hold me!
Review: Maybe it gets better after the first third but this book is remarkably unmemorable and certainly not compelling. Couldn't wait to put it down whenever I picked it up. Lacked tautness or any evocation of real people or other times. Robin Hood's done better in other forums. Still the prose is workmanlike, though lacking in any dazzle. How do some of these books manage to get published? -- Stuart W. Mirsk
