Pillar of fire
Volumes I and III were two of the best books I have ever read. But this one was annoying, because Branch spent hundreds of pages reviewing the background facts of the first volume I guess to get the reader up to speed in case they had not read the first volume. Who does that? What sane person is going to start a trilogy at volume II? Besides, the review was in such a shotgun fashion that I'm not even sure it would have been real useful or informative for a new reader. Anyway, once he got through the review, the book picked up and was really just as good as the other two volumes. But four stars, because the lengthy review was that painful. Mercifully, he did not repeat the review mistake in Volume III. And so, it bears repeating, volumes I and III were two of the best books I have ever read. What an incredible trilogy.
