Yes | No“I decided to read this book after learning of it when Collin Powell was thinking about running for President. Obtaining a copy proved to be a challenge in itself (this must have been before I was internet savvy), but after searching in a number of bookstores and libraries I finally found one in The Strand. With the book finally in my possession would it end up being worth my effort to obtain it? Fortunately it lived up to the hype. When Barack Obama threw his hat into the ring this compelling novel was fondly brought back to mind. ”

Yes | No“The characters were very well developed, and considering the length of the book (700+ pages!) the plot moved fairly quickly. It was a really good story that spoke of the times when it was published and still resonates with society today. The greatest compliment I can give to this book and author is that I will be seeking out more of Mr. Irvings works in the future, based on the writing style in this piece. ”
