Title: A Book with Good Characters, but an Uninteresting Plot
Review: Redcoat is a novel depicting the consequences of war on a country and a family. It's full of (not necessarily interesting) detailed war scenes, and a variety of characters. Of all the characters, Martha Crowl is by far the most interesting. She's an independent widow who develops her own opinions and views based on her observations, and hers alone. This quality gets her into trouble later in the book. Jonathan Abel is another interesting character. He shows what it's like to live in a cruel, ridiculing world. I, personally, enjoyed the characters and life scenes in the book, but not the war settings or battles. They were often too detailed and lacked interesting appeal. If you're a war book junkie and enjoy battles and fighting, this is an excellent book for you. But, if you're more into reading about the positive aspects of the world, keep looking.
