Superb writing, the writing style was simply amazing. The story will make you feel like it all happened as like this, as it all was merged with real people and most importantly when the book was written more than 70 years ago, the author has known all the characters individually and their own history. Nowadays, it was easy with Internet and wiki, but before 70 years it really needs a lot of reading and ground work as to know all the characters life history. Knowing every one's life history and their own words, sayings, and songs and merging and blending in the right areas is simply outstanding. Knowing the characters individual life history will also surprise you how accurately he merged those characters in his book. A must read...
