Title: BARELY WORTH READING
Review: There was a time when a John Jakes novel meant adventure, plot, history, sex and excitement. Now a JJ novel is just plodding history. I found most of the story to be underdeveloped and taking a back-seat to sticking in every bit of history that would fit. JJ has been there and done that much better in his Kent Family Chronicles. In my opinion he has not achieved the greatness and richness of those early novels. What a shame. JJ was one of my favorite authors.
