[QUOTE]Originally posted by sojourner: [QB] I was able to read the book. I liked it all right but like a lot of books nowadays I found it very skimpy--glad I got it from the library and didn't shell out big bucks for it! Nothing much really happened in it; it was mostly "furniture," I think. I don't mind the lack of characterization but would have liked more of a plot, since it is supposed to be a novel with a mystery or such. In that regard it seemed like the outline of a book than an actual book. It didn't go anywhere, didn't make any point, but it did capture the local color and "wallpaper" of the times pretty nicely, more like a travel memoir than a novel. It did get me interested in the Super Chief, though, and even in the Randallites. Why doesn't the SW Chief take the same route? [/QB][/QUOTE]
