My personal
Rating-
I almost didn’t pick this book up
because of the cover—I know, I know, that sounds bad, but this photographer
really doesn’t like the angle—but I’m glad I did as I enjoyed this one. While the
ending did feel a bit rushed, I really liked all the historical mentions of different
things in this book.
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
