A review by joneal233
Morgan's Run by Colleen McCullough

1.0

I don't know the last time it took me this long to read a book this short. (It's 600 pages...which isn't really a "short" book.) However,the length of time it took me to this book would be for a novel in the 1500+ range and likely a literary classic. Many times I wanted to just give up, but I am too stubborn and it causes me more pain to not finish a book, than drag through a bad one. Ultimately for a topic that should have been interesting (founding of Australian colonies by English convicts) was just REALLY boring. I loved McCullough's Rome series, particularly the first novels. Maybe I have a higher tolerance for dry historical fiction set in the early Roman Empire era?
