American Eclipse

The story of the Eclipse is interesting, It covers a large part of history and some of the myths surrounding an eclipse. This book was good, but went into too much detail about random things in throughout the story. I want stories to have some embellishment, but not so much that it feels like a collegiate paper, which is like a few paragraphs embellished so much as to extend to eight pages.
I don't think I'd really recommend this book to anyone.
