Title: Not Really Good
Product review: Yeah, I'm just not feeling this book ya know? My uncle Simon is WWWWWWWAAAAAYYYY into the Civil War and wants everyone around him to be, too, so he gave me this book. I'm a sophomore in college and American History is my major so I try to read everything I can on the Civil War. I have all of Shelby Foote's stuff, so I was expecting this maybe to be at least entertaining. I found, though, it wasn't. It was a really dry read and I was bored to tears. I finished it all the way so I could discuss it with Uncle Simon, but it was painful. Kind of clunking writing, the story was very dervative and hackneyed, and the writer took more than a little leeway with the facts of the period.I can't recommend. Buy Shelby Foote's "The Civil War: A Narrative" instead.
