This one is a definite winner. From the first page I was intrigued. A different time period, a different lifestyle that I enjoyed being a part of while it lasted. While not a suspense novel that you can't put down, "The Young Lions" stayed with you even while you weren't reading it. I really appreciate books that "linger," allowing you time to digest and internalize the entire situation before moving on.It's truly been awhile since I have read a book like this, one that is more than just a story. A great story does more than just tell you about the story, but invites you into the lives of the characters. Instead of just reading about how someone did something, this story allows you to experience it and gain an understanding of others, and I really enjoy questioning the motives of characters. Delving into relationships and really getting into the heart of the matter are important aspects of a great book, and "The Young Lions" did not disappoint!I tend to read mostly non-fiction, but every now and then I come across a fiction novel worth adding to my library. I will be picking up some of Maxwell's other books and look forward to seeing more, I second another reviewer in hoping this one will have a sequel. Very well done!
