Didn’t Like It1 of 2 members found this review helpful “The story of Gettysburg is told from both sides of the war. Just OK. Though I think Civil War and military history buffs would probably love it. I think I would've loved it if it had either been a work of non-fiction, or if it had focused more on one key player. It jumped around between too many...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“REQUIRED READING - ELEVENTH GRADE: This novel is about some of the men who fought in the Civil War. Main characters are Longstreet, Chamberlain, and Lee. The theme of this novel is that war can be both beautiful and ugly depending on who you are as a person. I found this book to be very boring and uninspiring.”

“This book is a trilling book in the Civil War. It is non-fiction with a few twists in it. The Killer Angels is a Pulitzer Prize winner. ”

“I personally don't like the book. Reading it gives me a headache and no matter how hard I try to concentrate on it I can't retain what I read. Personally I'm not too hyped up by American History but I guess if you are a person like that this would be a great book for you.

I like the character development/introductions as the come into the story though.
Just because I don't like it doesn't mean I can't appreciate.”
“Absorbing account of the battle at Gettysburg. The major players live and act, are real and engaging. Excellent history. ”

“A very engaging historical fiction, centered on the week of the battle at Gettysburg. It takes a broad look from both sides, using the perspective of generals; but it also gives boots-on-the-ground looks at the battle by way of foot-soldier perspectives. Lots of maps, lots of detail. ”
