The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara

4.0

---

I think I would have given this book five stars if I head read it vs. 'read' it via audio book. As it was by audio book it was hard for me to keep track of the different people. Memory wise I can always remember people/characters better if I read their names rather then just hear it spoken now and then. I never previously cared about the civil war much at all but this book made me so interested in it! Especially considering the recent anniversary of Gettysburg earlier this month (lots of interesting articles in the various newspapers), I am now find the civil war historical information very interesting. This book reads like fiction and makes true life people come alive again.
