Week 2 Book Response

This week I read The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara. The Killer Angels is a historical fiction book about the Battle of Gettysburg. This was a hard read for me, because despite the fact that it is only 345 pages and the type is a moderate size, the people in it speak with weird grammar and a lot happens very quickly on every page. I think that people who generally enjoy reading books about war will enjoy this book, especially if they enjoy learning about the Civil War. The book follows six officers through the three days that could potentially be called the Battle of Gettysburg, from the point that John Buford spots General Lee's confederate forces to the point that Lee orders that the confederates retreat.

To Be Read List:
Eldest
Of Mice and Men
White Sands, Red Menace
Green Glass Sea
The Client
Outliers
Divergent
Night circus
Forgive Me Leonard Peacock
Battle Cry
Stranger in a Strange Land
Shooting the Moon
See you at Harry's

This week I plan to read Divergent
