myfavoriteauthorisanon 's review for:
New York
by Edward Rutherfurd
I absolutly love Edward Rutherfurd and the types of books that he writes. I didn't enjoy this book as much as I have his European ones, it just seemed to be lacking so much character. And I really didn't get the end at all. He clearly states in the last passage that the theme of New York, the city and his book, are imagine and freedom, neither of which I even picked up on reading the book. I was disappointed by the lack of a family tree, but understood why there wasn't one. This story did follow the Master family strictly, but the sub-families were so minimal and there was no great overlapping of all the different families; it's missing the idea that everyone and thing is connected, but I guess that's not the point or theme of this book. I'll never stop ready Rutherfurd, I was just expecting a little more from him.
