Title: a most difficult read
Product review: Okay, I've been trying to think of something positive to write about concerning this novel "The Book of Fathers" written by Hungarian author Miklos Vamos. The only thing that comes to mind is that he is well-renowned in his country. Try as I might, I just could not get interested in this saga of the family patriarchs/first-born sons and all that it encompassed! Actually, I was expecting a lot more about the mysterious, mystical golden watch that brings a gift of clairvoyance to the first-born sons.....that caught my attention! Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the watch was just a blip in the storyline. Sad to say that I have been totally unable to grasp the meaning, history, intention, whatever...of this book. Obviously, this type of novel translated from it's original language is just not my thing! I gave it a 2 star rating mostly for any other adventurous readers that would have no problem with this type of read.
