So this one took me awhile-- the first 1/4 of the book contained only the background of the characters and ended up being sort of boring. This took me forever to get through.

After I processed the meat of background, the rest was actually very good. The story was enthralling and I couldn't put it down.

This book basically taught me that England rocks and France is crap.

The last lines of the story- "it is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done" left me wanting so much more!

Great book!
