Title: Love it or hate it!
Review: The average rating of 3-stars on the Amazon display is misleading. Start to scroll through the readers' reviews and you quickly see that each reader either loved it or hated it. My suggestion is borrow a copy or check it out from your local library and read the first four chapters. It should be apparent to you by then as to which camp you will belong.The author states that his purpose with this historical fiction was to fill in the gaps about the L&C; expedition and people involved; at this there is mostly failure. He succeeds in breathing some life into the characters, if previously they were two-dimensional history book names to you. But the more you know about these men and the expedition, the more you can make sense of the book; the reverse is not true.I read the book as quickly as I could just to finish it and get on with more enjoyable, worthwhile reading. As is said about so many products and services, there is always a group to swear by it and to swear at it!
