This is the book by a master storyteller that a person cannot put down once started! I am thankful to EBay and seller for finding a hardback copy at a SUPER price! ( I have difficulty reading small font paperbacks) I have read several of the author's books and this is my favorite. It is fascinating how he weaves the rich backstories of people AND animals, including dinosaurs! It's important to remember that every one of these backstories all fit together to build a great tale. Professional reviewers can tell you much, much more but I can only say that this is a great book and well worth your time! It will interest the reader to learn about the author, ie Wikipedia.
I ordered this book because I read it years ago and wanted to read it again. I like the way Michener writes about our begingings of the United States. A good history with fictional characters. He goes into great detail. Cant wait to read it again. Thankyou
