Negative Positive
Title: Too many character point of views.
Review: In this book about an alternate timeline where the US and Confederacy choose opposite sides during the Great War, everybody has a story to tell, and Turtledove spends the entire book doing just that. It's impossible to remember who the characters are because there are so many of them and the story switches to a different character's point of view after every couple of pages. It would have been far superior to limit this book to 3 seperate character's stories. Then the reader would be able to relate to the character and follow their stories easier.This book was really a dissapointment considering it contains two of my favorite subjects, alternate timelines and WWI.
