Waverly

By: Sir Walter Scott
Genre: Historical Fiction

Military history buffs would have probably enjoyed and understood more of this book than I did!!

I did enjoy following Edward Waverly on his journey of growing up, and his romantic support of "The Pretender's" cause. The love story twist in it was pretty good. But the archaic and sometimes overly descriptive language made this book a tough one to get through. I think I started this book in Mauritius (wee, good deal on English books, ~$1, at the local supermarket) and finished it after 4 months in Vietnam.
