isleofivies 's review for:
The Killer Angels
by Michael Shaara
This book made me feel for both sides of the conflict despite the whole slavery thing.
It gave actually character to even the Confederate side. In my history classes, this image of “oh yeah, the south was evil” tend to be promoted but god this book, the FEELS. I became so invested in these characters to the point I forgot they were real people. When i did remember, my mini-depression only deepened.
The diction took me out a bit. The author tend to use choppy phrases during action scenes or just some conversations in general to get that disorientated affect. It was cool but I felt it became a bit overdone through the novel.
The novel also felt a bit biased towards Chamberlain. I wish we got more in depth between Hancock and Armistead :(
