I found Hiram McDowell to be such an unlikeable character the first part of the book giving background and talking about his accomplishments was very off-putting to me. I also disliked that it was hard to tell how much time went by in between chapters.
Once a key event happened I was shocked by the events that followed. I couldn't stop reading!
I would give McDowell a 3 out of 4 stars. I would recommend others read it if they have the patience to get through the boring (yet necessary) beginning of the book. I find it amazing that I could hate the main character so much but still enjoy the book!

But his part to redemption and soul searching was the turning point for me.
I would gladly recommend this book to everyone.
