Excellent idea for a novel, and the history seems pretty accurate -- but this novel is written in such a simplified style that I felt I was reading something intended for grammar school kids. I also thought that period ambience was skimped; there was very little daily life detail that would ground the book in this period. I would almost call it dumbed-down. It is certainly a fast read. I think it might make a better movie, with visuals to fill out the aspects that felt missing.
