I can hardly remember starting a book and not finishing it. Well, there was this one. It went on and on from civil war in Greece to the start of the auto industry in Detroit to black market liquor over the Canadian border. Sheesh. Uninviting characters and a sloggy story lost me about half way through... and that was a chore getting that far. Oprah selection? Why?
