2011 Book Review #28: Saratoga
Mar. 26th, 2011 10:42 amTitle: Saratoga
Author: David Garland
Genre: Historical fiction (Revolutionary War)
Thingummies: 1.5
Synopsis: Captain Jamie Skoyles is an officer in the British army, perhaps not the best thing to be in the American colonies in May 1777. He is perfect in every way, which is probably why he begins to doubt his superior officers as they make one bumbling mistake after another despite his near-clairvoyant advice. He's too honorable to pursue the woman he loves despite the fact that he's totally sleeping with another woman he let follow him down from Canada, and his love's fiance is a moustache-twirling villain. Since he wins at everything he does, is there really much suspense in this series over whether he'll eventually join the rebels?
Thoughts: ( So, what did you think? )
