Holy moly 鈥� where to begin鈥� This was required reading in my High School AP US History class and I鈥檒l never forget touring the Southeast for colleges with my mother, knowing that this mammoth book had to be read before August. We alternated between listening to the audiobook version (my first real introduction to audiobooks) and cramming in some nighttime reading in various cities such as Richmond, Nashville, Winston-Salem, Raleigh - Durham, and so on.

Centennial is the kind of book that will make you want to gouge your eyes out at its tediousness, however it is also the kind of book that will force your respect by its attention to detail and intricate (and subtle) plot developments. I have never read any other Michener, however nothing can possibly top this. You follow cowboys, fur trappers, Native Americans, etc., through time and eventually Michener鈥檚 story weaves together to form a fantastic and cohesive description of Americana. It鈥檚 beautiful and depressing, yet it鈥檚 a personification of all of us.
