Alexander: Child of a Dream by Valerio Massimo Manfredi

2.0

The story is there, but the translator botched it up. It would have been unputdownable with some decent writing thrown in. Though it's easy to see why Jawaharlal Nehru didn't respect Alexander much. Even Manfredi's writing doesn't seem to thunder with anticipation. Sad. Conn Iggulden should have written this, it would have been epic. Two stars for ruining a good story.
