I liked it. Well, in hindsight, probably not my favourite book - but it did open my eyes to a whole new way of writing.You do not

i would like you so much right now if you didn't come across as such an arse. i can't be bothered to make that sound less offensive, so let's just add a 'lol'... there, that should do it.As you can see my love for history extends to historical fiction.
