Very good; slow in the beginning but worth the work to get to the end.
I had read this book years ago, just rented the movie and wanted to re-read the book. Enjoyed it even more this time.
Storyteller Michener brings his trademark style this saga of the history and people of the
South Pacific. Another winner, especially for fans of historical fiction.

I must confess that I have read this one before. It is a terrific book and reading it again is like going to see old friends. The first part (about the volcanic formation of the islands) can be skipped as it is of minor consequence to the rest of the book. An absolute treasure for any library.
