King Henry - A Novel - by Douglas Galbraith
Due for release April 2007

My suggestion - wait for the library edition and save your money

A historical novel set in America during the First World War. I was really looking forward to settling down to absorb the legend that was Henry Ford - 'inventor, industrialist, billionaire' and, for the most of us, 'the car guy'.

The book is written almost as a series of memoires, as recorded by the many people who were actively involved or were affected by the famous Henry Ford. The book certainly opened my eyes to previously unknown 'facts' and some sobering realities surrounding life, as it was, in the shoes of the great Henry Ford. But I was forever prevented from fully enjoying the book by the need to ask myself, 'so what?'

I persevered through to the very last chapter and you know what? I cannot tell you how that book ends... I never even turned the last page. Sorry, this book completely failed to grab my attention and, more to the point, failed to hold my interest long enough to even finish it.
