   Is the last castle a good book?

   • The book after all is called, The Last Castle, and not the George W. Vanderbilt Story. Fascinating, and a much-welcome addition to Gilded Age history taking place outside of the usual haunts of Manhattan and Newport. Kiernan handles the people better than the house itself, which has its pluses and minuses, though her approach is largely successful.
