I really wanted to like this book. I really, really did. I tried. It may have been that I listened to it on audio book, but I found it frustratingly circular and difficult to follow with the many generations named the same thing. I finished it in hopes it would get better, and toward the end, there was one line about literature being put into the freight train rather than up with passengers that made me smile, but other than that, I found very little redeeming in this book.
