3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but long
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...

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
By A Customer
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Worst Book I've Ever Read, July 2, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Civil Wars (Paperback)
This had to be the dryest, dullest novel that I have ever read. The characters are very unrealistic and difficult to relate to. Although the idea of the civil rights movement is important, this novel portrays this subject in the dry manner. For anyone looking to be bored out of their minds this summer, pick up this book. For anyone who wants a good read, select any other title at random--it has to be better that this one!
