Title: excruciating agony!
Review: Total crap -- everything in this book is total crap. And to the reviewer above who loved the book for its detail, please don't take that statement the wrong way. The detail isn't in the characterization or the intricacy of the plot, not the detail of historical setting. It's actually the detail of the stupid thoughts that go through the minds of our "hero" and "heroine." The lackluster plot ought to give both of them something to think about, but instead all you hear is a repeated litany of trite nonsense. The whole book felt like a rambling repetition of story lines and conversations that ought to be in a romance, but strung along in such a way as to feel more like an ad-lib game where the author just filled conversation into a standardized plot like with inane remarks and violently vapid emotional outbursts.This review is merely an effort to protect would-be buyers looking for a good classic romance. This shouldn't even get the overall rating of 2 stars it has now.
