Mexico by James A. Michener
I have always like Michener books. They are long but the history and research in them really enthrall me. I must say this one is not my favorite. I felt the character wasn't strong enough. It wasn't until half way through the book that I realized he was trying to use the story for the main character to come to grips with his life and what he wanted to do. I also got the feeling he was competing a little bit with Hemingway in this one - however that was probably just me. Still, I liked the book.
It is long. It is very Micheneress. Give it a 3 of 5.
And no, it is not in the 501 must read list.
