While many other were familiar with the writer’s nonfiction work I did not know him at all before reading this book. I think this book does a good job telling a compelling story but it does just that, tells. While I enjoyed the characters and the way the plot was delivered i never felt like i was transported to the world of the Essex Dogs and I feel like since this is historical fiction it shouldn’t be too hard to do. While i think k it shows great promise and i would love to see more from the author with the hope of some improvements i think this book ultimately will be a read once and move on from.
