I think in general I'm more flexible - especially when I haven't read anything about the historical characters before. Did I enjoy reading the book? Did it make me want to learn more? are the main ways I qualify historical fiction for me. I'll be coming back to read this review again after I've finished the novel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078315941472495277.post-68002705144758296172008-12-10T06:51:00.000-08:002008-12-10T06:51:00.000-08:00Thanks for the honest review!
