This book was interesting. He had a daughter that stirred me and made me think a book should be written as fiction about her. Strong and a leader like her dad.

I enjoyed this book. Not a fast read but it is amazing all that Alfred did for his country. How many today would give as much? So thankful for each and every service person.

Good for you, reviewing a book you might now read otherwise. I review for Blogspot Book Tour and there were books I didn’t take just for that reason. You know, I might be a little small-minded to do that. Making me think.

I slogged through because I would read about 10-20 pages a night before bed. If you want to sign up for Thomas Nelson reviewers go to my old blog at http://thatswhatimherefor-diane.blogspot.com/ and scroll down to the “I review for button”. It is free to join and open to anyone with a blog. I am enjoying it. You read one book, post a blog entry on your site and then a book site such as Amazon.com and then you can request another book. Great opportunity for those who like to read to get free books to keep.

Interesting. I’m always looking for a good read. Is this a book that you slog through? or did you find it an interesting page turner? Also, I’d love to know how you were chosen as a reviewer by Thomas Nelson publishers – that sounds like something I’d like to do if I have a chance.
