Negative Positive
Title: Very entertaining
Review: I also had to respond to the 1 star review. I have never read a Gilchrist book before, but am a huge fan of Stephen Pressfield's books and was inspired to read Green's and Kagin's accounts of the Greco-Persian and Peloponesian wars. I stumbled on this book by accident and found it to be tremendously entertaining. Yes, the characters might be developed more but I did not find this a serious distraction. I would compare it to Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea - some things are not fleshed out, but there are so many parts that are stunningly good that the book overall is quite worthwhile.
Is the review positive or negative?
