Why this lender recommends it

"A heartbreaking story of tanks, artillery, bombers, and mustard gas against barefoot men wielding swords. With that backdrop, I almost felt guilty laughing over the Count's antics. Jake was the more likable than Gareth, who was annoying with his constant "old son." But at the end, Gareth pulled it out with a move recalling Sydney Carton at the end of A Tale of Two Cities." - Reviewer on Goodreads.com
