"I have always loved John Jakes novels. Netflix has finally brought me the mini-series that I remember watching under the covers on a tiny TV when I was supposed to be sleeping! I read the trilogy when I was around 9 years old or so."
"I learned a lot about the Civil War from this book. His research is very well done and it was a compelling read! Not for the faint of heart in length or content, but well worth the effort. i love a book that is interesting and leaves me feeling better educated."
"Love the series & book. I liked Cooper & wish he'd been in the enture show. I've read this once & tried to read it again, but I stopped about a 300 to 2350 pages from the end."
"So, the first 150 pages of this took me FOREVER to read. I just couldn't get into it, couldn't remember who was who and just felt generally kind of overwhelmed at the idea of reading 800 more pages of this...
All at once, it picked up for me and I read the last 650 pages in just a couple of days.
This is the first book of a three book series. It is the story of two families that are BFF but live on opposite sides of the Mason-Dixion Line during Civil War times. This first book was everything leading up to the civil war, the second book is during, and the third book is after.
I was really impressed with the writing, the attention to detail and accuracy, and the character development. Although there was a huge, sprawling cast of characters, you really got to know everyone really well. And what I was really impressed with was how no one was depicted as absolutely anything. These characters generally seemed like real, torn individuals during a crazy time in our history.
I am really excited to get into the next books in this series."
