A review by julesgou
New York by Edward Rutherfurd
2.0
I wasn't a big fan of this book. It just wasn't for me.
The whole concept of this book was interesting. The history of New York in a fiction novel. It was really cool how he connected the stories of the families together and how it really all came back to the belt that Pale Feather gave Van Dyck at the beginning of the novel.
The storyline was nice, and I liked some parts.
My biggest problem with this book was the length. Yes, I understand that this book needed to be long. The 1000 pages it was in paperback were quite intimidating. This book had to be long, but that doesn't mean I had to like it. I think I would have preferred it being a series, instead of one big book.
Even though it wasn't my favourite, it was still a neat book and I suggest that any history buff or New Yorker try it out. Not bad, just not for me.
