Liss writes whiskey January 8, 2009
Like his previous novels, David Liss' Whiskey Rebels is a dense tapestry of life in the late 18th century in the United States. Liss is that rara avis...a literary and literate writer who writes a damn good story. I recommend this as a prelude to the Inauguration and to all who wonder what life in the first decade of America was like. And if you haven't ever read Liss before, go buy all his other novels too.
Great read! January 7, 2009
Any one who enjoys "fictitious history" is in for a treat. "The Whiskey Rebels" is written in the the style of the era. David Liss takes the reader on a journey with the new patriots who are bent on shaping and saving America just after our freedom was won from the British. Travel from the "Empire State" to the new settlement of Pittsburg. Visit Philadelphia, get your feet muddied, live the life of a new American. America is on the brink of becoming a great nation. Or will greed and revenge derail this great country?
Great Historical Thriller. January 5, 2009
I don't know why I cringe at the idea of reading a historical novel, because usually I end up loving them. Case in point, with 'The Whiskey Rebels'. The spilt narrative follows Ethan Saunders, a disgraced spy in George Washington's army, and Joan Maycott, a young idealistic woman who moves to the outskirts of Pennsylvania to start a new life with her husband, unaware of the hardships they're about to face. Their individuals paths eventually merge, but it's the journey there that's the fun part. In light of the current economic crisis, I found the book eerily timely in it's plot line around the inception of the Bank of The United States. But make no mistake, this is not a dry tome, far from it. It's a smart literary thriller, with two compelling narrators, and a myriad of plot twists to keep you guessing until it's satisfying conclusion.
Interesting reading January 3, 2009
I was excited to start this book because it sounded interesting. As I started the book I found I was losing interest and I wasn't sure I'd be able to finish it. However, all of a sudden it came to life and things started to make a lot of sense. You could see how everything twisted together. It ended up I could hardly put the book down and was sorry when it ended. Anyone who like a lot of twists and turns, you'll enjoy it.
Superbly interesting novel January 2, 2009
I was interested in the Whiskey Rebellion period of history, so I thought I'd read a novel rather than a history book. I learned more than I bargained for! The beginnings of the American banking system, free trade in the 18th century, way more than I ever knew about Alexander Hamilton and a little I hadn't known about George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
Here's a novel that grabs you with the first chapter. You're not sure you like the first protagonist, but the second one is adorable. Action Action Action!
The novel is a little confusing until you get used to alternating between two seemingly different stories, but once you realize they are going to join up, things get even more exciting!
I might just read this one again soon, but I have quite a stack lined up already!
