The Four Feathers

Rating:
Summary: Amusing Romp
Review: This is a nice book for whiling away some quiet evening hours or a rainy Saturday afternoon. Devoid of much meaning, but steeped in melodrama it deserves to be read and enjoyed by devotees of the historical action adventure genre.

While the movie version remained reasonable true to the book, you will find the narrative in the story better told, and much clearer.

Summary: I love this book
Review: This is a period piece, and a romantic book in every sense of the word. The "God and Country," "loyalty above all else" and strong sense of honor in the book might offend contemporary readers, but stay with it for the story of sin and redemption, loss and restoration. It's a sweeping story told in a sweeping style. It's no wonder Hollywood has made so many movie adaptations (my favorite adaptation, by the way, was the one starring Jane Seymour)!
