It is a little bit tough to take because of the rough characters...it reminds me of Pulp Fiction in scenes in an old Oldsmobile Toronado, but it is good and spicy and holding my interest! It flashes back and forth in time, and I don't have all the characters solid in my mind yet.Zorrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00227456296100012961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985696882107725007.post-21837179873350922692013-02-13T18:22:49.880-08:002013-02-13T18:22:49.880-08:00I am all for creative license, it is fiction after...I am all for creative license, it is fiction after all, but I agree completely with not wasting time on incorrect stuff!<br /><br />Telegraph Avenue is on my TBR, how is it so far?Leah Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17214799245088873722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985696882107725007.post-11731026987837477572013-02-13T16:59:22.700-08:002013-02-13T16:59:22.700-08:00I agree with you about accuracy in historical nove...I agree with you about accuracy in historical novels - the places, the times, and the real people have to be researched and correct. I do learn a lot of history from historical novels, and I don't want to be wasting my time learning incorrect info. I don't think I will read this book right now. I am reading Michael Chabon's Telegraph Avenue.Zorrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00227456296100012961noreply@blogger.com
