Exodus by Leon Uris
3.0

Interesting read, but I didn't love the pacing (constantly doubling back to give backstories of characters and places) and the characters were incredibly flat - it was a work of historical fiction with an emphasis on "historical," although the bias is incredibly obvious as well. Balanced it is not. I actually enjoyed the historical parts of the books the most, though, because the framing characters were, as I said, obnoxiously flat, and in Kitty's case wildly annoying. No one's motivations really make any sense and people are killed off willy-nilly. They're archetypes rather than people.
