Carolyn liked it because Ariel helped win the race. She liked when she fell asleep in the balloon, when the race started, and when they were winning the race.
The Wager, by David Grann

Book club chose this based on reading The Killers of the Flower Moon a couple of years back. It was not as compelling. I kept waiting for it to get to the exciting part and then end, but it never really showed up. That said, I appreciated Grann's research and writing, but I think maybe it didn't have the oomph in the story that he thought it might have had. It hovered on the brink of something amazing and hair-raising. Also, half the book is about the research he did and not the narrative, so it looks a lot longer than it actually is and created a sort of despair amongst those of us who were willing to persevere through to the end.
