Title: A Disappointment
Product review: What a disappointment. Crossing California was a wonderful book, full of interesting characters rooted in a specific time and neighborhood of Chicago. Washington Story reads as if Langer's publisher asked for another book just like the first, demanded it within a 6 month time period, and then didn't take the time to have it edited. This book should have been reduced by several 100 pages, whole story lines cut out. It rambles and makes pointless references to historical events and places in Chicago. The central story is forced and unsatisfying. This may be an overly harsh review, but I expected so much more after Crossing California!
