Review: Mixed feelings about this book
Rating: 3 out of 5

I really thought the story had great possibilities.  Since one of my loves is family history too I read the book all the way through.  I'm not sure I would have otherwise.  The author had some great characters, a good story, however I had trouble with his style of writing, some of it awkward enough to be distracting.  And often descriptive segments were repetitive.  I found myself wanting to say, "Okay, let's get on with the story!"  The ending was a little anti-climactic... at least for my taste, but I enjoyed the story enough to say I'm glad I read it. That is mostly because of my own genealogical activities.  I remember what it was like to have no computer to help you through the research, however, I don't really think I want to read every single little detail about the amount of legwork it took. That's just me.
