Review title: Overrated. These reviews are pandering and perhaps paid for.
Product review: I do not take exception to this novel because I am an amateur historian. I take exception to this because it is just plain bad. It's overwrought, patronizingly and painfully sentimental, and poorly written. I don't know how old the author is, but it's like he is getting out all his high school angst with high school prose. It is not so much an engaging story as it is a forced-emotion, poorly-manipulating movie of the week (or should I say "movie of the weak"?).
