Jess

Gelesen von Jim Locke

(3,536 Sterne; 14 Bewertungen)

The setting for this novel is the Boer War in South Africa in 1880. This novel is interesting and exciting on several levels: there are complicated love entanglements, evil Machiavellian treachery, political reflection having to do with the ethics of the colonialism of the day, for one subject for thought, and war in all its lurid and shocking and murderous detail.

Another of Haggard's Greats

(4 Sterne)

Good book, though seemed rather short by the end. The reader was VERY difficult to listen to, however. (My sister couldn't do it, so I got her the book). I alternated between reading and listening, because it is nice to be able to listen while I work. I had to really pay attention to get much, though, and I'm suprised the reader didn't ruin any of the characters for me.
