Thomas Stroemquist's Reviews > Making History

Probably my favorite fiction book by the wonderful Stephen Fry - when you have read his autobiography, my suggestion is to go for this one! The story, obviously, is about the changing of history and the consequences thereof. Wonderful, live and likeable characters (and some not likeable at all, of course) and has all the trademark Fry: English humor, wit, and beautiful language. At no point in this book this feels overdone, but I felt that he hit just the tone and pace here. The outcome of the meddling is very close to my first guess and I liked very much that he arrived there. The 'fix' is also a logical one, but does offer some surprises along the way. This was, even though it's a bit long, a smooth and not easily paused read and one that I recommend very much.
