Another Three Rivers

Three Rivers Rising was another departure for me. Set during the Johnstown Flood, obviously it isn't the modern drama I gravitate toward. This was another one of those times when I was desperate for a book on CD that wasn't too long and I happened upon this. I listened to a full-cast recording edition so that made it even more enjoyable. I haven't been to Johnstown in awhile, but I give it high marks in my review! I given decent marks to this book as well. Its the story of a young, wealthy girl from a prominent Pittsburgh family who meets and falls in love with a working-class dude from Johnstown while her family is vacationing in the posh rich folk hang out around the reservoir that eventually wiped out Johnstown. That was a long sentence! The book deals with her father's jerkish snobby ways and class distinctions. It was a good book...but there were two other random characters thrown in who could have had cool stories but they were played out enough. This wasn't an I LOVED it book but it was interesting and decent.
