WOW. At 900 pages, this book is an absolute monster, but it's broken up into three parts (I the story of the final events leading up to the death of EJ Watson as told by various characters, II Watson's son Lucius researching his father's life, and III the story of Watson's life as told by Watson himself), which makes it a bit easier to read. The writing is masterful, great sense of place and description of early 1900's Florida.
