Book Review - The Bookman

The Bookman by Lavie Tidhar

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I found this book falling into the usual trap that plague alternate histories, that being that it looks to change far too much. The end result is that the story gets muddled in all the differences.

The story gets further convoluted by wanting to include too much. Fictional and factual characters walk alongside each other, which does not help to keep a clear vision to the story. It is almost like the author had a number of ideas (both good and bad) and thought the story would be best if everything is included.
