OK... I had put off reading this book for as long as I could. For one, I'm not really into reading the "trendy" book of the day - other than John Grisham who I am like addicted to. I am more interested in reading the "classics" or finding new authors on my own. But this one seemed to be one that everyone was reading so I got the book for Christmas - started it recently and just finished it today.
It is a very good book although not as gripping as how I have heard it described. Maybe its because I have watched too many of those History Channel documentaries about it before I read it or maybe ... I don't know. It is very interesting though especially a lot of the history. I sort of wonder how much of it is exactly true and how much of it is fictional.
I will have to say though, the last chapter ... that was almost worth the read. The last chapter was something - I actually felt like I couldn't breathe when I read it so... I guess I would recommend this book and say it is worth the read but just look at it with an open mind.

That book has been on my "to read" list for quite a while. I'm still looking for a used version but no luck yet!
