Title: Limited appeal, substantially ridiculous.
Review: As an avid reader of all Civil War literature, along with many of my old home (southern) compatriots, I was very much disappointed! Too much fantasy and not very imaginative I might add. Manse Jolly is far more interesting a character and more deserving of tribute than this attempt gives him credit for. Instead read one or both of the following (as this author should have done) (1) Manse: One Mans War (truly excellent historical fiction) by Wilton Earle and (2) Manse Jolly: A Story Based On Fact (hard to find, but worth the trouble) by Garet (Wilton) Earle.Perhaps if the read were smoother it might allow time to follow the "plot" and suspend disbelief long enough to buy in.
Is the review positive or negative?
