hils1. The Life of Nelson - Robert Southey
I'm sad to say that this book was actually quite dull. I was expecting it to be full of interesting tidbits that I didn't know, since the author was one of Nelson's contemporaries and this was the first biography to be published after his death. Unfortunately it's quite dry and only really comes alive at the end when he's describing the Battle of Trafalgar.
Ah well, I have two more Nelson books to read. Maybe one of those will be better.
Next on the list is The Last Days of Krypton by Kevin J. Anderson.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
