Title: I can't finish this book!
Review: I read Trinity in February, 1978, and I loved it.I have been trying to read Redemption for six weeks now, and am just now fighting the Turks.The character development that enabled Uris to give us background information on many characters (like Caroline, Seamus, Shelley, Atty) without confusing which characters were his clear focus (Conor, Tomas and Kiltie) is missing here. The book bounces around between too many characters and too many story lines with not enough time devoted to any of them to let the reader know whose stories are the crux of the book.Perhaps the problem is that Uris goes over already-told Trinity tales and can't get focused on his main characters. Outside of seeing the word "redemption" batted around by different characters, I can't find anything that unifies the stories contained in this book.
