Review title: A Disappointment
Product review: As an avid fan of THE THORN BIRDS, I guess I was hoping for too much when I purchased and read this novel. All I can say is that it was a disappointment. There was far too much detail about steam engines and gold mining, and not nearly enough detail about interpersonal relationships. Some parts of the book were quite unbelievable, such as Alex traveling all over the world (literally)as a very young man in the 1800's. I am not at all sure that is realistic. Also, the ending was horribly predictable and again, unrealistic. This could have been SO much better. I've decided to give up on Ms. McCullough's novels in the future... Yet it was not a total waste of time, there were parts that were quite interesting and readable. On the whole however, a disappointment.
