Title: Maybe a good introduction to Michener, maybe not.
Review: I found this to be a good story, and it's definitely one of Michener's shorter titles. Unlike most other Michener books which take a locale or topic and follows it through generations and eras, this takes one group of folks on an expedition during the Gold Rush and sticks with it cover to cover. It might be a good introduction to Michener in the sense that it's a shorter read. On the other hand it's a bit different than the approach Michener usually takes, so I can't say that it's a great representative for Michener's status quo. I do think there is a bottom line of... If you like the story, you'll probably enjoy other Michener titles as well. For those already familiar with Michener, this is one that you won't want to miss.
