Adventures of Charles Hayden

review 1: Excellent book! Russell has a terrific feel for the language of the period as well as the social norms. The book is pretty episodic and such books tend to be, but the action flows along nicely. Some scenes, such as a lengthy golf game, made me wonder if Mr. Russell is a golf player himself, and that bias led to a scene that was perhaps a bit longer than it needed to be. But that's a small quibble. Over all I thought this was a great book. Poor Hayden cannot catch a break!
review 2: A good book, full of adventure and action, sullied by a disappointingly downbeat non-ending that sours the entire experience.The introduction of at least two new plot developments in the final pages of the third act - plots that hint at little chance of timely resolution - coupled wi... moreth word that Russell's tendency toward late-addition dangling plot threads continues unabated in the third book, has essentially killed my desire to continue this series. A shame, but I have no desire to deal with that kind of literary frustration. less
