bennought 's review for:

3.0

I was really torn about this book. There were passages and sections where I couldn't put it down, but others that had me nodding off. Uris is clearly a master of character development, world-building, and exhaustive period research, but sometimes I think he bogs his narrative down a bit with all of the details he's discovered along the way. For those interested in the post-war years, this will definitely be a fun and fulfilling read--just be prepared to push through sections every once in a while to get back to the good stuff.
