The Civil War is also a hard sell with me–I don’t know why, I just avoid it. I blame Ken Burns.

Interesting. Civil War stuff is difficult. Oh Meghan, I'm not able to comment using the mobifus mobile site. .-= Bluestocking´s last blog ..Sci Fi Friday: STar Trek Voyager: Unworthy =-.

I have heard others have had a similar reaction to this book as yourself, and based on the reviews I have read, I don't think this is the book for me.I am not greatly intrigued by the subject matter, and finding out the characters are unlikable pretty much ties it up for me. Thanks for your honest review on this book. .-= zibilee´s last blog ..Guest Post and Giveaway =-.

Too bad. This doesn't really sound like something I would enjoy either. Great review! .-= Stacy´s last blog ..Book Giveaway – Travel Writing by Peter Ferry =-.

I've been wanting to read The Widow of the South for quite some time now. I've heard some great things about it and my mom especially kept telling me how much she was enjoying it as she read it. A Separate Coountry sounds good too and I am a sucker for New Orleans, but since I already have Widow of the South, I'll probably read that first and see how much I enjoy Hicks as an author before moving on to any of his other books. .-= Stephanie´s last blog ..BTT: Unfinished books? =-.

Did you read his other novel, The Widow of the South? That was pretty good, but those characters were pretty similar to your descriptions of the ones in this novel.

I am about halfway thru this and so far I'm enjoying it. On the other hand, I've been halfway through for about month . . . hummm I wonder why I haven't finished it. .-= Beth F´s last blog ..Thursday Tea: To Darkness and to Death by Julia Spencer-Fleming =-.

I really enjoyed this book - sorry it didn't work for you. I got to meet the author last weekend and it was so much fun because he is passionate about so many things. .-= Kathy´s last blog ..Review: Viola in Reel Life =-.
