Summary: A beautiful story, wonderfully written
Review: I'd like to rebut another amazon review that criticized Featherstone's writing style. Featherstone is one of those rare writers who brings a story to LIFE. His style is compelling and captivating. I highly recommend this book!
Rating:
Summary: Absolutely Captivating!
Review: This book is a must read for anyone who wants to learn more about the Baroque period or Handel. It is a blast to read and there is never a boring moment. I strongly recomend it.

Summary: Beautiful story, poorly written
Review: This is a compelling story. Handel's life is the stuff of rich drama, and the coming forth of the Messiah is a miracle. Unfortunately, the writing here doesn't match the material. I kept reading because I loved the story of Handel. It would have been better if Mr. Featherstone had stuck to a non-ficiton account with a good editor. The fictional characters were not fully realized; they were sentimental stereotypes. The story is worth the read but one has to skim through quite a bit of dross to find the gold.
