The Fool of God

This was another good book for giving a history lesson without reading like a textbook, although a part of me would like to know where the history stopped and the novel began. If you don't know much about Restoration history, you might want to bone up on the terminology (Old Lights, New Lights, Seceders, etc. before reading it) or you might get bogged down trying to figure that out.

The book was so interesting that I really had trouble putting it down. At times it seemed to fly along. Even when it slowed, it didn't drag. The was enough description to set the scenes without being dull. If I have any complaints, it would be all the names. I had trouble keeping track of who was who, especially if they weren't mentioned for a couple of chapters.

Now to pick my next book.
