The Bastard by John Jakes

4.0

This was a fantastic start to this epic series, I thoroughly enjoyed myself reading this. The way John Jakes interweaves history with unforgettable characters never disappoints. I really enjoyed the scenes with Benjamin Franklin in particular. However, I hated the series of choices Philip makes towards the end of this book so that’s why it only got 4 stars. Can’t wait to continue in this series though! Yay!
