I received this book as a giveaway from Goodreads. Thanks, goodreads! The book is an epic telling of the period during World War I through characters from different families from different countries. the characters are intertwined incredibly well. Their lives are affected by each other and the war. I enjoyed this book immensely and look forward to reading the next one.
I didn't know if I would like this book because I liked the Percy Jackson series so much. I really enjoyed it.
The only other John Grisham book I've read is Calico Joe (which I loved). I really enjoyed this book. New York City lawyer is sent to intern in a Legal Aid office in Coal Miner country. Her eyes are opened to people who need lawyers who are suffering because of big coal companies. Mr. Grisham includes ALOT of background info on coal mining, which I appreciate. The story was good, the characters were good, the plot was good. Overall, a good book.
Oh my gosh. That book was so stressful to read! I think I would rate this book 4.5 instead of just 4. The ending was a bit abrupt but it was a very good ending.
