This book is about a young author from the hills of Kentucky, who took New York by storm.
He was tough, and smart, but fell to the big city life.
Well written, this is my first Herman Wouk book, but not the last.
I have already bought three more of his novels.
Very good reading, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
