And so far both reviews agree that the author has stuck to the historical facts very well, giving me the impression that this author weaves fact and fiction well enough for the demarcation line between the two blur.<br /><br />I would like to read Ryan G's review... a different perspective...<br /><br />Cherry Mischievous<br /><a href="http://www.cherrymischievous.com/" rel="nofollow">www.cherrymischievous.com</a>Cherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02393654291460364161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159128827250626285.post-12306072204755746322010-03-29T12:53:17.741-05:002010-03-29T12:53:17.741-05:00Thanks! for the review.Thanks! for the review.Tribute Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16959016294721462184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159128827250626285.post-21957866504252380192010-03-27T18:56:07.491-05:002010-03-27T18:56:07.491-05:00This sounds like a book that I would really enjoy!...This sounds like a book that I would really enjoy!
