What Members Thought
Got to p68 and nearly threw up at the completely out-of-the-blue, unnecessary description of the sexual molestation of an abandoned child. WT??? I'm sick of books that take the terrible, shame-to-all-humanity Catholic Priests' sex scandal and make it into ALL clergy for ALL of history have to molest children. Disgusting, wanton act by an irresponsible author wanting to be very pseduo-PC. RUINED an otherwise fun book. This sort of thing belongs ONLY in memoirs of those who suffered it.

An intriguing story, but lacking the depth I would have expected - a little more flesh on the bones would have really helped.
