Title: Interesting man, horrible narrative
Product review: As another reviewer mentioned, the telling of the Mosby story is done so awfully. I could not finish the book because I was not able to get into a rhythm (keep in mind I read about 3-4 books a month). Parts where you're expecting to have details he summarizes in broad strokes, meanwhile in other places pages and pages are spent on meaningless points.I gave the book two stars because when the narrative is good (in a few places) it is very good and you learn some interesting facts. There are also some excellent photos/illustrations.Other than that, I just got done watching a Civil War Journal episode done on Mosby and it pretty much summed up much more effectively what Virgil took about 300 pages doing. It doesn't look like there is a solid bio out there, other than his own memoirs. I should have started their in the first place.
