Wonderful storytelling
Johnsons pens a grand story in Origin. I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. This story is historical, all the way back when they were seeking liberty. Virginia Colony is in the middle a war in itself, as violence and inequality threatens their way of life, what they need the most, is liberty and loyalty. This was before there was even a US President. A wonderful suspenseful and action packed historical story. It is a very well-written story, and I enjoyed it. The author did the research and this is a historically accurate story, and the author's imagination leaps off the page. This author is a great storyteller. The story brings the reader on a superb journey. This author not only tells the story but shows it with words as well. Origin is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to reading many more stories by this author.

Origin
The weaves a good story. This book mostly sets up for what I assume is more to follow. The narrative is moved forward by conversations and covers decades of time. Because so much time passes between chapters and the chapters are long, it was challenging to keep track of the different individuals.

Organizingly drawn out
Do the story was quite creative in the originally done It was done so in typical English fashion Of drying out what could have been said in 1 paragraph to pages of script.
