Summary: An Extraordinary Novel, Shaara Strikes Gold!
Comment: Gods and Generals by Jeff Shaara is the prequal to the Pulitxer Prize winning novel The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara. Gods and Generals follows the lives of 4 men in the turbulent days leading up to the Civil War until just before the Battle of Gettysburg. Thomas Jackson, Robert E. Lee, Winfield Scott Hancock and JOshua Chamberlain are the 4 main characters and in the mix we see glimpses of some of the best known soldiers and civilians of the Civil War Era, including JOhn Brown, JEB Stuart, McClellan, Burnside, Longstreet and Hooker. Shaara's talent for writing is obvious in the first lines of this work. He is able to capture both the triumph and tragedy of the Civil War. When it comes of the battles, his accuracy is almost complete. Shaara does his research and provides the reader with the thrilling idea of being inside a historical figures mind. The only complaint I can make is that he does not delve into the insanity that strayed just beneath the surface with Jackson, instead promoting Jackson's obvious if misguided religious beliefs. Although Gods and Generals was made into a subpar movie, it is a first rate story with compelling character and explosive drama. Well done Shaara.

Summary: J.S's tale that takes you inside some famous Civil War minds
Comment: I believe that Jeff Shaara's book Gods and Generals is a masterful look inside the heads of some of the Civil War's most famous generals. It gives the reader a deep sense of friendship with these men as you read each page. With every turn you feel closer and closer to these men as you follow them through what became history. Jeff Shaara has taken a new approach at trying to explain what went on in the Civil War through both Northern and Southern eyes. I believe this fresh approach gives life to the the part of the Civil War genre that has become simple fact-listing. That is why I believe this book is an excellent choice for interested readers Civil War type books.

Summary: Loved it.
Comment: I loved this book. I'm only thirteen, and even i got into this book. it's full of blood and emotion, and i would have given it five stars, but for the fact that one of my favorite charecters died. Reading historical fiction is the only way i can learn about history, so i've read quite a few, and i absoultly loved this one. Terribly sad book, but also exciting. read it.
