This pre-Civil War novel about the life of a slave catcher was riveting and thought-provoking. Although the subject is not for the faint of heart, the story left me with a profound feeling that some of the best stories are the ones that are hard to hear. I was touched by the emotion of the two main characters & how life would have been during a very dark time.

Where do good ideas come from? Johnson looks at this question starting with Darwin's theory of evolution, drawing on fields from neurobiology to pop culture to support his answers. Those answers turn out to be both convincing and inspiring, especially in the book's conclusion: that with today's tools and technology, great ideas are nearly limitless for those that know how to cultivate them.
