The length of time I took reading this book doesn't indicate the quality of the book. It's a very good read. My required reading got in the way of pleasure reading. I've always enjoyed this author's books and will probably take some on vacation with me as they can also be used as travel guides or reveal a place that sounds so intriguing that you include it on your itinerary. He will be missed.
