I am a fan of historical fiction. I was concerned with the seriousness of the topic. Although there were many deaths, there was a fair share of joy. SPOILER ALERT - Hopkinson did write a happy ending for the main character, Eel. I do have one complaint. The author never told us Eel's real name. Not that his name is important but I was curious. I enjoyed this book but it did not take over Counting By 7's as my choice for the Oregon Readers Choice Award.
