Query: Morgan Run not THE THORNBIRDS...But

I always think there is but ONE truly great novel inside every every writer, and in Ms. McCullough's case of course I thought it was THE THORNBIRDS.Morgan's Run proved to be a close third after her novel TIM.As has been stated the first few chapters of Morgan's Run is a bit tedious, but once Richard Morgan gets on the ships and then lands onto Botney Bay, interest soars.It's the kind of story that details and chronicles the life of a man who has lost everything, and gained back his integrity, his loast sense of self and finally learned to love once again.Characterization is rich and engaging, and I became immersed in finding out just how Richard Morgan was going to survive in a land that was vastly different from his home in England, making him face harsh realities that he could either face what was ahead or die. He chose life and what a life it was.Highly recommended.
