Helpful Score: 3

A very interesting and historically accurate thriller. The depiction of the Jews living in this time period was fascinating. I was less interested in the in depth explanation of the finances of England and the beginning of the stock market. The author was doing his dissertation on this subject, so I can see why it was such an important piece of the book. That said, the explanations and plot revolving so heavily around finance made it slow going for me at first. About half way through I felt the book really picked up and I couldn't put it down. I'm looking forward to the next book.
