Ohhh My Gawd!

It was SO boring at first. I was dragging reading this. Forcing myself to go on… and then the tension started to slowly, almost imperceptibly, ratchet up… more and more until I was paying attention, and then WHAM! I got body slammed! Then, reeling from the shock, I breathlessly read on.

Then, GOD DAMN! Flipped me. I’m only half way through!!!! Whaaaaaat?!

Anyone else shocked that half way through the book a minor character mentions that Donna de Freitas is black???! WTF. Why did that take so long? This book is odd and tedious. I’m determined to finish it though.

The eloquent words, “Give me liberty or give me death!” Were spoken by Patrick Henry and much celebrated. But it’s the story of the world we live in that he knew nothing of what those words meant and this woman embodies all of it. Where is her national holiday? Why is she not on our money? Why is she not everyone’s hero? The most American of all Americans… at least what Americans claim and wish to be.

Literally everyone in the 16th century had some sort of disgusting and leaky abscess or fistula in an inconvenient location. Also, France’s history is defined by deadly religious intolerance, barbaric violence, and war.

“So, dark matter is our frenemy.”

LOL

This book is so good! Can't put it down.
