I'm impressed when I think of how much work this book was to write. It's detailed, well planned, well executed, and demonstrates a great understanding of character.
It's just the subject matter that is boring, to me at least. Politics. Anyway, if politics excites you, by all means, go for it.
Definitely slow going. I can't say I am going to rush out and read the sequels!
ReplyDeleteBut I am glad I read it because it is such a political classic. And it won the Pulitzer. My review is up now on Rose City Reader.
