    Thanks, Becky. I’m working on another list that’s different points of view.

    Yes, nice list. I also liked “Prisoner of Birth” by Jeffrey Archer. A modern “Count of Monte Cristo.”

    Great list. I also really loved Jon Clinch’s Finn, which tells the story of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the father’s point of view.
