A review by hiltzmoore
New York by Edward Rutherfurd

3.0

While this book covered an impressive amount of history quite well, I think in general, the story fell short for me. Each segment would have been a great stand alone book, but trying to combine them together left me feeling like the families' stories were sold short. It read more like a non-fiction book. I also started to get the different Masters confused, and found myself disliking them more and more as the years went by. Rutherfurd is a good storyteller, I would just prefer a less daunting time period - covering from pre-Revolutionary times through 9/11 is just silly, really.
