Was a historically interesting book. Took me some time to get used to the language. You also get pretty frustrated with the main character. But a good read if you're into this period.

Very quick read - fascinating thriller about a horrifying era in US history.

This is just a bit too dry to truly be enjoyable, but it has some terrific character moments. Don't even bother with the audiobook version, though.
