Review of 'Mussolini, a study in power.' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I didn't finish this book as much as one of my dogs chewed it up. He did me a favor.
Don't get me wrong. The subject matter is top notch. It's good history/biography. But the writing style is dry as hell. It made reading a compelling story about a compelling person a slog. I'd see the book lying there on the table, and as much as I wanted to crack it open, I often didn't want to bother with the dusty, old prose. Normally, I can handle antique writing, but this just left me cold.
History = good
Style = blah
