A little too long. A rollicking historical novel written for the general reader, specifically for the young. Artistically unsatisfying. Cumbersome messages, didactic interludes, artificial coincidences. Uncritical of its historical sources.

Almost done with it. biggest book i ever read, pretty good. was annoyed though when author went on rants about how napoleon was a psychopath and was in the wrong

So boring. Read Don Quixote instead, it's actually rewarding and a lot deeper.

Read Maude and Maude's translation. I loved it.
