This review is from: Pomp and Circumstance (Signet) (Paperback)

I've had this book lying around the house for many years, and never got around to actually reading. I assumed it would be one of those novels that is short in its pages, but would take forever to plow through. I was quite wrong. Not being much of a fan of Victorian era England (or per chance, Regency), I was surprised to enjoy the English parts when they popped up.

I did, however, subtract a rating star because of all the plotline in India. These parts seemed to drag on and on, and I didn't much see the point in having them in the book anyhow.

Don't be fooled by the cover. A little less than half of the book deals with America and the Civil War. I was disappointed that there wasn't more of the antebellum south in Pomp & Circumstance, but the rest of the story (minus India) more than makes up for the lack of detail in this area.

Bottom line: A book definately worth reading and recommending.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mildly entertaining, March 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Pomp and Circumstance (Signet) (Paperback)

Entertaing novel about star-crossed lovers who experience a vast array of events in England, America and India. The two protagnonists are charming, but not very interesting and the plot is well paced, but somewhat lacks credibility. Yet, the author's take on the Indian Rebellion of 1857 is shoddily written. He should have done more research on India during this period.
