5.0

I found A Harvest of Thorns to be quite
slow in the beginning- but slow does not
mean boring. Corban Addison is a
brilliant writer. His style is beautiful and
eloquent. It may take some effort to
learn all the characters and their role in
their respective companies and the plot
as a whole but once you've nailed that,
the storyline starts to flow beautifully.
The book picks up about mid-way as all
the pieces start to fall into place. It
almost has a mystery element to it as we
follow the characters putting clues
together to uncover truths that we (the
reader) already know. It humanizes the
workers in this industry and will tug at
your heart. The book ends well but I wish
Addison had included more stories of
different workers and their experiences
because I found that very interesting and
the most meaningful.
