Measured, thorough, quietly passionate. Checks sourcing and context, praises vivid narrative, flags anachronism and oversimplification.
Reviews by Rosenberg
Master Slave Husband Wife
Ilyon Woo
An arresting true story, deftly told, though Ilyon Woo sometimes smooths the historical grain too eagerly. I admired its narrative force more than its interpretive daring.

The Wager
David Grann
A gripping maritime disaster narrative, elegantly told, but one that too often mistakes momentum for analysis. I admired its vividness and clarity, though I wished for more scepticism, more context, and less dependence on the sheer force of the story itself.
