I've read this book once every ten or fifteen years since I was a teenager. It's one of the best and most sophisticated historical novels I've ever read. The characters are believably real, the detail is amazing, and you feel you've seen the way things really were.

This was Kantor's Magnum Opus, and he spent years researching and writing this book. It shows. Arguably one of the most underrated, yet best pieces of truly American fiction. Sophisticated, detailed, and profoundly realistic, this book cannot be read and appreciated in a few days. The characters honestly come to life, as Kantor spends pages upon pages of describing every aspect of their lives. The character's hopes, dreams, thoughts, and personalities are revealed to the reader in such an in depth way, it becomes impossible not to form a personal connection with the characters. For a good book, nay, a once in a lifetime book, I would strongly recommend the purchase of Spirit Lake.

The book arrived when it was supposed to and in excellent condition.
After having read literally thousands of books, this one has always been my favorite and I wanted to own a sound and clean copy of it. This copy fulfills those requirements, and I'm happy to have it. Thank You for a successful transaction.
