Title: The book was "a great read": descriptive, analytical.
Product review: I was amazed that such a reflective, descriptive quasi-historical and long novel turned out to be so readable. The book evokes nineteenth century pioneer life vividly and the portrait it paints of the sometimes-deluded John Brown is realistic and believable. The narrator, Owen Brown, got a little tiresome. The character seemed partly motivated by a grandiose idea of his own importance, and he had a tendency to overanalyze. But the moral questions he raised were often important when one considers the history of the US and, sometimes, of universal significance.
