Book Review: The 5th of March

WARNING! This book is very, very, boring. It has almost no plot at all, even though it is about one of the most gruesome parts of American History, the Boston Massacre. That is the ONLY remotely interesting part of this book. The main characters are too wimpy to do anything about it, even though one of them is a soldier, and the other is a maid to John Adams! Everything before the Massacre is literally just normal life in the 1770s, with a tiny amount of romance sprinkled in. However, the book picks up a little speed towards the end, just enough for me to finish it. Alas, even though you probably won't read it willingly because of this review, you may be forced to read it at school or for summer reading because of its historical content. Looks like you can take any interesting (or gruesome) event in history, add in some normal life, and BOOM, you get boredom. To summarize, try to never, EVER, read this book! (unless you have to read it for school.)
