Title: did nothing at all for me
Review: California does have a fascinating history and this book does cover it all. Problem is the writing. The author's not a bad writer but he's not a great one either. I felt my eyes glaze over especially on passages about politics.Given I've enjoyed a number of books on California, it's definitely not me. Maybe someone else can put a finger on it but I just grew weary of the style of writing which came across as too matter of fact and lacking in verve, color, whatever you call it.
