3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but long, January 10, 2005

This review is from: Civil Wars (Contemporary American Fiction) (Mass Market Paperback)

I read this book some time ago, and its issues and characters still stand out in my mind, which seems the sign of a good story. On the other hand, I thought about a third of the book could have been cut. If you are interested in white people's involvement in the civil rights movement or current racial issues in the deep South or marriage and parenting issues, there's something in this book for you. Its worth reading, though there might be parts to skim.

2.0 out of 5 stars Long and Drawn Out, June 18, 2002

This review is from: Civil Wars (Paperback)

I had to convince my mind that the story line would lead to something interesting. Boy, was I wrong. Lots of distractions with no climax.
