slow-paced

Story was slow in parts, but his writing is beautiful. Easy to see how it won a Pulitzer.

Really loved this book, but will have to ponder my review on a full sized computer. Maybe even after the book club meets.

lbabsrobles's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

I just couldn't get into it. If I have to wait 200 pages to get into a book, you've lost me. I struggled so hard. In the end, I just couldn't finish it. I would fall asleep after reading just a chapter. If you are into history and don't mind not having a lot of dialogue for what seems like an eternity at first, then this book is for you.

After all the fuss about this book I was actually kind of disappointed. I don't say it wasn't good but I just expected a little more. It was still enjoyable and it didn't took too long to finish it.
