Blaze of Glory Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Jeff Shaara just isn't as good as father Michael. "

" I love the way Shaara writes. He brings history to life with a realism and human touch that I find very engaging. His books are novels, since he has invented dialogue and invented minor characters, but it's all grounded in the facts. This book about the Battle of Shiloh captures a part of the Civil War that I, for one, know less about, and I found it a fascinating read. If you like history, this is a good one. "

" I enjoyed this book as I have all of the Shaara books... keep them coming! "

" Jeff Shaara is one of my favorite writers. Once again, his ability to put you in the heart of the battle equals few others. While it is considered a historical fiction, he follows the actual events in the battle of Shiloh with a perspective of what it may have actually been like to be there in Shiloh in 1862. I highly recommend this book and any of the Shaara books to all. "

" Got this from the library and I'm glad I did. Shaara (and his dad) do a good job of writing historical novels. Most of my reading on the Civil War has been on the eastern side; this is the first of a trilogy on the western front. Quite good! "

" Fine addition to Shaara's Civil War novels. I'm glad to hear that this is the beginning of a new Civil War trilogy of books that cover the western theater of the war. "

" We spent a day at Shiloh Battlefield which made this more interesting. Fills in details of the battle but not a page-turner. "

" Jeff Shaara at his best. I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for His next book! "

" Interesting historical content - but maybe too much. I would have liked the surrounding story to be developed more. "

" The Author portrays the day to day struggle of the North and South as they do what soldiers must do in the time of war. The horrors and reality of battle come to life. "

" Slow start; ended up being well worth the read. The description of the Shiloh battlefield as the Federal counterattacked on Day 2 is as sobering as it is riveting. That part, especially, was a fine piece of writing. "

" It was a good person-centered introduction to the Battle of Shiloh "

" Jeff Shaara has written yet another great book where you empathize with the characters. It was also exciting to read as I have been to the battlefield and could really picture the locations. "

" Definitely not as good as his Gettysburg books, or his father's. "

" Really got me inside the battle of Shiloh. But wasn't drawn into the characters quite as much as in previous books. Still a good read. "

" As with his other books I totally enjoyed the narrative while learning something too. Looking forward to rest of the trilogy. A bit hopeful Shaara will figure a way to capture time and personality without a war. Sadly/gladly he's running out of conflicts to write about. Korea or Vietnam Next?? "

" great study of the people behind the action. I'm not a civil war person so the absence of tactics made this very spray appealing. I don't live far from Corinth, and after reading this I may have to visit there now. "

" Slower than any of his previous books and a little boring. Had trouble finishing it. "

" Alternating perspectives from high-ranking generals to front-line infantrymen, Shaara depicts the fear and fury that the Federal and Confederate soldiers endured during this deadly Civil War battle. "

" Other than Gods and Generals and The Last Full Measure, this is the best book he has written. I love his writing, and the other books he's done, but I do believe he's up there with Cormac McCarthy to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. "
