Most of the book was really fun and enjoyable, but I thought it started to drag near the end. And yes, the ending seemed like she ran out of ideas and was like, "Hmmm... how can I tie this up?" Reading Michener's The Source right now and it's taking FOREVER to plow through these 1100+ pages -- but so good!
