Unabridged Audiobook
What a pleasant surprise! This book was for me a great find, as I have never read a Mark Helprin before. The story was well paced and beautifully developed. Despite the fact that it described the horrors of warfare and terrorism, the morality of the good guys remained an inspiration. The interwoven love story was also inspiring and on a wholesome plateau. The story is long, but to my mind it ended too soon - it was simply that good. I highly recommend this book.
The story dragged and dragged with purple prose.
