The Book of Daniel E L Doctorow Books

I am afraid anyone looking at my low rating will think I rated the book contents. Amazon.com does not allow rating the book edition separately from the content, but if it did I would have given 5 stars to the book contents, and 1-2 stars to the terrible Kindle edition.
In a nutshell, the editions is full of errors, misspellings, missing words, incorrect capitalization, in short it was probably done by a scanner without a proper editor ever reviewing the result.
I verified these errors against a paper edition (Modern Library Edition 2005)

As an example, these three locations have "well" instead of "we'll" (it is correctly spelled in the printed edition):

P. 49: Well teach you!
p. 57: I will go back and take them to the park and well see if there are any boats on the river--
p. 58: There," Phyllis said. "You take a nap now. And soon well be at your grandma and grandpa's house

It's a shame!

The Book of Daniel E L Doctorow Books Reviews

A really excellent political novel. Both the subject and structure of this book were particularly striking.
I found parts of it to be hard to follow. Flash back and narrative were almost free association at times. Doesn't flow like other Doctorow novels.
An interesting story, with a number of poignant moments, but made complicated by his jumping around in time with no hint that the he has shifted again. And again. Sexual comments seemed to be inserted as an “I am liberated” badge, rather than to enrich the moment. A long opinion piece.
Doctorow's voice is, to me, like music--sometimes like jazz, sometimes more orchestral. This book reads like orchestra to me, different characters stating their themes, another voice breaking in with a new melody line or variation, but always carrying the music forward. This is a poignant take on a tumultuous time in history, written in 1971 but relevant today, a reminder of experiences and values we should not forget.
Being somewhat familiar with the Ethel & Julius Rosenberg trial and executions in the 50's which I believe the book was based upon, I appreciated this story of the lives of the children left behind after their parents death. Powerful and moving stuff, especially the execution details in the last chapters. I recommend this book to all who have not read it.
Doctorow is an awesome writer -as in the true definition of "awesome" - awe-inspiring, astonishing, breathtaking. Utilizing the tragic tale of Julius and Ethel Rosenburg, they were always in the background, this is a novel that explores the cold-war period from the viewpoint of a child swept up in his parents' farcical and unsettling life-story, and his current position as an adult in the late 1960's.
This is a historical novel about Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and their children. The names are different and instead of two sons, the couple has a son and a daughter. It's a wonderful book, but just too long, so it becomes tedious after awhile.
I am afraid anyone looking at my low rating will think I rated the book contents. does not allow rating the book edition separately from the content, but if it did I would have given 5 stars to the book contents, and 1-2 stars to the terrible edition.
