Title: Not true to book
Review: I LOVED the book! It is very long but I think, compelling, and very educational about the Civil War. Even though it is fiction, as far as the war goes, the writing about it is based in fact.Trying to make a movie from this book just seems impossible. To do it, liberties were taken and the story changed in some major ways, including how it all ends. There are few movies that can do justice to a great book, so the movie was pretty good considering the enormity of the undertaking, but it did not do as good a job as was done with Gone With the Wind. That movie is my all-time favorite movie. However, this movie is quite good and the actors are perfectly cast, so I would definitely like to own it for that reason.
