Morgan's Run by Colleen McCullough

3.0

Thoroughly researched—possibly too thoroughly? Despite Sydney being one of my favorite places to have ever visited, before this book I only knew the broad details of its history. I learned so much more from this story with its heart wrenching details. And yet, the pace of the story suffered with perhaps too much detail about things that weren’t necessary to drive the plot. In other words, sometimes it got boring. The book also suffers from unmitigated hero worship. Richard Morgan is too flawless. I liked the book, but not nearly the way I loved The Thorn Birds.
