4.5 star. Great, classic book. Only 263 pages that are quite smooth. For history and geography lovers!
Great 1870s, ecclesiastical view of fleeting materialism and life.

Great Adventure Story
I enjoyed the film as young boy growing up in the Bronx. Like a Bond film, the story took you around the world. Living beyond the pale of the Yankee Stadium, stories like these are a great escape. After reading the book I can see why the cast was picked. A great story!
