I love John Jakes - Charleston is one of my favorites - but I just couldn't get into this one. Still, it gives you a great feel for Newport in that era.

I love John Jakes. this isn't his best book, in my opinon, but it's not his worst either. I don't fully love any of the characters, but with the exception of Count Orlove, I don't fully hate any of them either. And I found my feelings about a lot of them changing from page to page, keeping me engaged and wondering about their true characters throughout the book, which made them seem very human.
