[Poll Book Tally] When We Were Vikings by Andrew David 3 stars

[Karin]

Zelda is 21 and has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, but she looks normal and can both read and write. She lives with her older brother and is a huge Viking enthusiast. She has even learned some Old Norse from the looks of the words and spelling. She sets on her own Viking quest when she learns that her brother is making money in very questionable ways and I have to say that I ended up liking this better than I thought I would. At first I didn't like it much and was wondering if I should ditch it or if it would be two stars, but it grew on me and got better as it went. I abhorred the level of profanity; once in a while is one thinking but for the next few days or so I will be concerned that some of the hyphenated ones will come out of my mouth at an unguarded moment.
