Title: Captain Corelli's Mandolin
Review: Captain Corelli's Mandolin is one of the best books that I've ever read. Bernieres created a wonderfully woven story of passion, history, politics which resulted in a clear sense of place and time. It made me laugh out loud in one chapter and shed tears in the next. The characters were well developed and more so in this book than in any other, I truly felt for them. However, I have to say that the ending was not of the same quality as the rest of the book. As I read it I felt as if he were trying to cram it in. This amounted to almost five decades being wedged in the last few chapters. All in all though, I would still highly recommend this book.
