Title: Man Beat Up By Book!
Product review: I've been assaulted by a paperback! I could (and not just for my anti-confederate tendencies) relate to the plight of the Federal infantry pushing through the walls of lead on that Wilderness road. "The Executioners Song", is a great example of a novel that seeks to recreate events in a nearly minute to minute basis... Guns of the South, in spite of it's promising premise is not. Written like the old Cheech and Chong "Summer Vacation" skit, it attempts to wring extensive exposition out of everything. Leaving the reader no choice but to skim first paragraphs, then pages, and nearly entire chapters at a time- with no signifigant loss of overall comprehension. As tiring was the constant use of AK-47 throught the novel. Granted, there's no way to spell it out, but perhaps more use of the term "repeater" or some local slang added more character, and a greater sense of integration into the time period...PoZi (;=
