Title: Different than most
Product review: The views of the civil war in this book are mostly internal and come from the meandering thoughts of the characters themselves. That does not make this a terrible read, just not quite what I was expecting. I have always been fascinated with books on this subject and this era in general, and although I found the writing in this book to be very original and interesting, there were times where I also found it confusing. There is some jumping from past to present and back to the past without much warning and that got a little confusing and made me pull away from the story a bit. What I did like about this book was the painstaking effort the author put into his descriptions. If anyone ever wondered what it was like to be one of the men fighting these battles, this book can nearly put you there. Overall I can recommend this book, but I do wish to warn people that there are some graphic portions and foul language, which add to the ambiance, but also may offend some. Pretty impressive.
