Book Review of The Last Town on Earth

The Last Town on Earth
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 4


I enjoyed this book for its historical perspective on politics and labor movement of the time period. It didn't live up to my expectations in terms of writing style or plot. I feel that the writer would be better at historical non-fiction as he just didn't build sympathetic characters nor a well-sustained plot. There were far too many characters introduced who were only tangentially related to the plot, and the plot was interrupted by too many ill-defined subplots. Maybe a second book by this author will show more mature writing as the book was well-researched and the premise was quite interesting.
