Historical Fiction Reviews
#21
I don't know, I should keep my mouth shut, but when one includes words like "stupid" in a review of someone's work, someone who's a member of our little community here and has obviously poured lot of effort into the novel, well frankly, that's kind of lacking class and ends up being more a reflection on the poster than the writer. I know this kind of harshness in dealing with each other is a side effect of internet forums since normally one would not speak to another like that in a real room, but there are better ways, different adjectives to convey your opinion than that.<br>
<br>
I liked Bill's book. It's not perfect, hardly any book is, yes to me also, the Romans are a tad too "true blue", but frankly for me it doesn't detract from the overall quality of the book. For others it might. But I'm interested in reading Bill's interpretation of day to day camp life, training, preperations for battle, etc. And for me the book hits on these points. Anyways, 'nuff said...<br>
