I liked that Languth didn't stint on writing about less major players, like Samuel Adams. I haven't read that one in quite a few years, but I remember liking it quite a bit, and it's come through several major moves and is still on the shelfGoing on with Patriots by A.J. Langguth. About the American Revolution and what lead up to it. Starts its story in 1761 so we really get to know the characters and their shifting stands in internal and external american and British relations. I am up to the battle of Lexington now (1775) and many major players are still waiting in the wins. Jefferson and Washington for example has been figuring but not yet as major players. That will change. I like that the icons of this period are portrayed as humans, not heroes. Hero worshipping is not a good basis for good history. There is too much of that already in many histories Ive read.
I needed to read it. There is a lot i did not know before. In school we read more about the french and russian revolution as i remember. When it comes to american history there was more about the Civil War than the revolution. Of course Washington, Jefferson etc was covered but more in an anecdotal way and not so much context. And afterwards i must admit to being more interested in the native americans history than the modern America. But I am remedying that now.
Thank you CYB.I've only read the book (not seen the movie) and I can't for the life of me remember at what point the reader realizes the twist.
Edit: if you read the Wikipedia synopsis of the book you can figure out the answer to your question.
Fight Club (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Backman started his career as a blogger where he invented the character of Ove. A know it all middle aged white male that is rather socially incompetent (Ove that is, not Backman, the reaction here was that Ove was funnier in the blog format than as the lead in a novel). This novel is his try to make a novel of his blog character. Havent read it (the book) but thought you might like a little backstoryRead a couple H.G. Wells stories tonight, but that's about it. Feeling brain fried. I have a book sitting here called A Man Called Ove, by a Swedish author named Fredrik Backman. It looks like it might be funny, so I'll tackle that tomorrow, I think.
How interesting! Thank you! Our library had copies on the front desk, as Ove is this month's book club selection, and I picked one up on a whimBackman started his career as a blogger where he invented the character of Ove.
