Book Review of The Historian

The Historian
mizsarmy avatar reviewed on + 3 more book reviews


I am an avid reader, who sometimes reads up to 3 books a week, and I had to work on this book for over 3 months! Its crammed full of details and facts. I did enjoy this book though, despite the difficult read. The summary of the book makes you think that the book is about a mans daughter who discovers some of her father's letters after he has vanished, but in fact, the book says very little about the daughter and focuses mainly on the letters apparently read by the daughter. At times, I found myself confused or lost in the details. I would not recommend this book to any of my friends who were looking for a fast and easy read. But I would recommend it to those who enjoy a slow and complex read. Definitely not a book for the faint of heart!
