A review by kharmacat
Gods and Generals by Jeff Shaara

4.0

Jeff Shaara has made a formula from his father's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Killer Angels, telling the tales of the same characters during the Civil War, prior to Gettysburg. Although he cannot quite match the dramatic storytelling of his father, the book succeeds in expanding upon such an interesting time in our country's history. If I were able, I'd give it 3.5 stars instead of 4, and have been generous with the extra half-star, since I will move on to read the son's second novel, the sequel to his father's masterpiece, The Last Full Measure.
