rating:
I have mixed feelings about this one. The writing is top-notch; there were some passages where I had to stop and re-read them because they were so beautiful. Helprin is an amazing writer.
But the story itself did not keep me engrossed. It took me a while to read the book, mainly because I had to almost force myself to pick it up and keep going.
However, I am glad I read it, and would recommend it for others to read, if only for the perfect sentences and paragraphs that show up throughout.
