Helpful Score: 7
Tulip Fever has a little bit of everything: suspense, romance, and history. It's set against the background of the tulip frenzy of the 1630s. Amsterdam is stricken with the fever of tupilomania. People invest in bulbs, the bargain, they gamble, they sell everything--all for the glory of making more money.
I really enjoyed this book. I liked the format which has each chapter devoted to a different character. You get the story from different perspectives. It's somewhat like Tracy Chevalier's Lady and the Unicorn. In fact, if you enjoy Tracy Chevalier's writing, you will enjoy this as well.
This is a fascinating, fast paced historical fiction novel. I knocked it off in three days as I really wanted to know what would become of the characters.
