Liberty's Torch

Author: Elizabeth Mitchell
Stars: 1
Review by: Mandy Apgar


An account of the building of the Statue of Liberty, at least it was supposed to be. Took quite a while to get there. A lot was spent on its sculptor, Auguste Bartholdi (who probably didn't base her after his mother) which does make sense, but why so much on the Suez canal? Or other luminaries of the time whom have nothing to do with the story? By the time it gets to making the statue the book is almost over and the process itself is over so quickly.
