i gave this 4 stars because of the quality of the writing . It was not an exciting book to read but i am sure that if i were reading it 100 years ago, i would have thought differently. by todays standards it would be considered corny. i have 9 more volumes by this author which i will read but not right now. perhaps two per year , i could do that.
