I ventured into a new genre, Biography. I expected to hate it, and so I did.

I considered this book because I loved The Count of Monte Cristo, but where one is a novel, which purpose is to entertain the reader, this a history book, which purpose is to be precise and accurate with names, dates and sequencing of events.

The prologue was interesting, it tells about the authors difficulties obtaining the documents for his research.
