ecuathai 's review for:

New York by Edward Rutherfurd
5.0

Great read! For 850 pgs it was a fairly quick read. I found it interesting that the book was published in 2009 yet the politics, racial divide, the ambition, the spirit the author captures is all the more relevant for today. The summations the author made struck a chord with me...as if he wrote the book to address the problems we face today. The Draft Riot during the Civil War..."they are taking our jobs"....where have we heard that phrase of late!?!

It was an insightful, entertaining beautiful, sad, happy, cover gripping book.
