Historical Figures Come to Life!Review created: 10/03/06(updated 10/03/06)

I like a good read and this book meets the Criteria. This novel has been put into several genre's and in my mind it only meets one. This can only be described as a Historical Fiction. You get a real glimpse into some of the most influential figures of our past. Without all the boring text book information you got when you were in school. The Characters in this book are vivid and very entertaining. The one thing about the author is he has a very good vocabulary and I found my self going to a dictionary every few pages. If you like a good historical fiction this book is for you!
