Title: DUMBING DOWN HISTORY YET FURTHER
Review: I read the first book in this series and enjoyed it, but this is now beginning to look like a bad television mini-series. Do authors of so-called "historical" novels think we are just plain dumb? This is written in elementary school level english; and can we really believe that the family members ever got so close to world leaders and business types? Poorly written, boring, I think John Jakes only wrote this because he had a contract for another book. It doesn't come across like he cared. SAD from the man who brought us one of my favorite historical fiction series on the Civil War. It may be time to put down the pen on this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
