julieprovost 's review for:
New York: The Novel
by Edward Rutherfurd
What I liked about this book: a big family saga over 400 years. I learned more about NYC and other parts of history. It was perfect on audio.
What I didn’t like: Dropped storylines. I know we couldn’t possibly follow every family ever mentioned but there were a few key characters/families that just disappeared after a while and would have liked to follow them too. I also wasn’t a huge fan of the more modern characters.
I love big books about families that span 100s of years and this one did hit the spot for that. I give it 3.5 stars.
