Title: Good balance - Not too much fluff, not too much history.
Review: I enjoyed this book. It took me a few months to read because I was constantly interrupted from my reading pursuits but I kept coming back to it and enjoying it. I have read reviews that complained of the extended interludes on the routes taken by monks between the Balkans and Constantinople. That did not bother me. I like histories (American Revolution era especially) but break up the monotony with the occassional James Patterson or DiVinci Code. The Historian provided a nice mix of both elements. A hell of a lot more sophisticated than my normal pot boiler.
