Holy moly, but is this one good book! Can't wait to see how things wrap up.

I think this one’s going in the Did Not Finish pile. I’m having a really hard time getting into it, and I just don’t care about the characters. There’s not a lot of depth to them or to the story, and I feel like this is a tale that’s been told thousands of times. The writing, in general, I’m finding to be sophomoric.

This...this isn't going well. I'm going to give it my requisite hundred pages. I have some issues with how juvenile the writing is, and the characters lack depth. But I'm pretty thrown by the lacking research. One character, in 1929, talked about spilling her Bloody Mary, despite the fact that vodka wasn't readily available (even illegally) in the US until after prohibition. Yikes.

This one had a SLOW start but it's picked up a bit.
