I've been trying to get through this book for over a month. It rambles. The first chapter got my interest, but from there on, it was disjointed and rambling. Towards the end, new characters were introduced which had nothing to do with anything. This was my first read of a Leon Uris, and sadly, its going to be my last. This was an awful read!
