Marching Through Georgia

S. M. Stirling


Purchase this title at B&N

I'm not going to call marching Through Georgia a bad novel. I got a lot farther through it than the usual fifty-page rule. My only real problem with it was, quite simply, it didn't hold my interest.

This could very well be because I have trouble slogging through war novels of most stripes (Harry Turtledove's The Guns of the South had much the same effect on me, despite its classic status). The book was originally recommended to me for its depictions of the society of the Draka, but I found it so difficult to get through I simply couldn't appreciate them.

So I'm not saying it's bad, I just couldn't get though it. You may have a different experience. Gets the gentleman's C.
