I found it to be a will told story. ( )

at first it was relaly interesting but then the same happened over and over again and it became redundent and the story too confusing and too many people invovled and then they split and come back later so that I totlaly lost track of everybody and sadly have to give up. However, if you are into Finnish and European history, this is probably a great detailled book for you. ( )
