Review: Joe Roberts lives a life that sorely lacks adventure. He helps his mother with the general store they run and tries to get along with his despised cousin, Lucas. So when the Civil War begins and people begin to rally and enlist, his patriotic spirit gets the better of him and he signs up to fight in the war, unknowingly joining the same Company that his cousin Lucas is in. Positive content: The whole entire moral of the story has an awesome message, but I'll let you figure that out for yourself. Violent content: Uh...it's a war...Nothing gory or anything. A brief description about the blood covered field. Sexual content: None Language: The only thing is that Lucas refers to something as h---ish. Overall Opinion: This was an amazing book, although I was skeptical at first. The character arc was masterfully done. It was short and sweet and I read it in a day. And I cried. Need I say more? I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction (or even someone who doesn't. I don't tend to like historical fiction and I loved it.) The writing could have been better with the word usage and sentence structure and all, but everything else was masterfully done.
