it was ok

bookshelves: social-comment, history, fiction, kindle

I spent waaay more time slogging through this than necessary, hoping for some brilliance and entertaining insights about the period. Instead I'm left with a flat perplexity, a truly under whelmed feeling of HUH? The decadence, moral corruption and bizarre ethics of the time make me wonder how England ever rose to such prominence. But then as a westerner I suppose that is why we are where we are today.
