Negative Positive
Title: A good read. Lighten up, people.
Review: I am surprised at the number of people who have their knickers in a knot over the author's research or lack thereof, depending on who is doing the bellyaching. If you want exacting,unassailable pristine research, then read non-fiction and do it yourself. A novel is a novel. Although I am descended, on my mother's side, from the heroine/villainess of 'Grazia' I have to say I would have found it interesting anyway. It is a fun book. It loses a bit of steam toward the end and leaves some loose ends, but so what? The plot moves well and it is easy to read without being insulting.
Is the review positive or negative?
