At the beginning of this book, I struggled to be interested. But by a quarter way through it was very intriguing and grew in intensity until the end. 

This book deserves every award it has ever won.

Fantastic. Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in the civil war.

I enjoyed the book, but kept finding myself being dragged down by all the minute details. I finally realized I could focus more on the characters than the tactics and battles and enjoy it more so that is exactly what I did. I have to imagine a Civil War buff would feel off the charts admiration for this work but that is just not me. It feels like a bit of a victory to have actually finished it.

Read this without reading the others in the series. Fantastic view of Gettysburg.

Believe the hype. This book was fantastic.

I actually didn't care much for it. Just a little too lofty (flowery language) for me I guess. I was surprised, and the book has rave reviews and is considered one of the best. Can't please everyone all of the time I guess.
