However it's a lengthy saga book, spanning most of the 20th century, and the viewpoint is omniscient so it's hard to get a real 'feel' for any of the characters. I felt as if the jumps from section to section left some threads standing, while killing off some people whom I had started to be interested in.
I also felt that there was an excessive amount of 'strong' language, mostly unnecessary, and far too much intimate detail about different sexual encounters.
I'm glad I read it from the historical perspective, but it wasn't a book that inspired me, and I don't suppose I'll read it again.
