What a disappointment. The book drags on and on. The characters are utterly lifeless, dull and boring. The narration is stilted and tries too hard to be "dranatical" (ha). A few stars for this book for providing historical background on the industrialization of Niagara Falls (I know all I thought of it was a touristy site prior to reading this book!). Maybe I should've just stuck with reading a non-fiction book about the falls instead. (P.S. I also found it odd the author chose to put her name as the running footer through the entire book.)
