Title: Poorly Written - Where the Hell Were the Editors?
Review: I make no comment whatsoever on the content of this book, nor on its accuracy or its biases. My entire focus is on how someone could take a life as dramatic as Cromwell's and rob it of any excitement. I guess that is an accomplishment of sorts. This book is horribly written. It is like trying to read a legal document. The sentences are too long with multiple layers of phrases. It reminds me of trying to decipher a complex mathematical expression with six levels of parentheses. You spend most of your time trying to figure out what phrase modifies what. Where the hell are the editors when a book like this is submitted for publication? It should have been thrown back in Fraser's lap filled with red marks, most of which would say: break up into multiple sentences! Avoid this one. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a good book on Cromwell, and I certainly wish I could.
