Landsman Audiobook

" fabulous book!!!!! recommend if you like American Civil War period, love stories, southern men "

" Supposed to the the new Red Badge of Courage. Don't count on it... "

" It was an interesting book. The writing style was a bit stiff - kinda victorian, also very violent. "

" I rarely give up on a book but I'm abandoning this one a bit over halfway. Way way too much nasty language and gratuitious sex. "

" I finished this because I can't stand not finishing a book I started but I didn't like it. Nothing about the story hooked me. There are better Civil War stories out there. "

" Amazingly well written. My husband and I read ALOT and this has been one of favorites! It's not just the story, but the use of the language that makes it special. It's a quick read because you cannot put it down. I highly recommend it. Can't wait for his next book. "

" Good story, if a bit graphic for my tastes at times. The main character's transformation from a gangster to a guy trying to set things right was done well - instantaneous transformation or fall in love at first sight stories like that usually drive me nuts. "

" I picked this up randomly at the library...I love a Civil War novel, usually. Let's just say this was a borderline bodice ripper and I cannot even believe the author has a phd in creative writing....it was unbelievably bad and took all I had in me to finish. "

" This book is beautifully written. It's gritty, violent, romantic, and heatbreaking. I would recommend it to anyone interested in History, The Civil War, Jewish History, and love stories. Visually stunning. And the author's hot! "

" insanely eloquent prose, yet brutally unrelenting all the same. total page turner. if you like the works of cormac mccarthy you will definitely enjoy this. "

" This book grabs you with violence and a taste of the dark side of New Orleans during the civil war. But its focus is maturing, redemption. A debut by the author, it is beautifully written, lyrical yet raw as hell. The characterizations are stellar. Once I got on it, it was done within days. "

" Street smart Jew in Civil WAr South in love with Miss Nora Bloom "

" Ubber book minus the curse words. "

" This was one on the $1 table at Barnes & Noble. Hard to get into, but the last 1/4 of the book was interesting. Fighting on the wrong side of the Civil War, starvation, and walking in the snow without shoes stuff for pages and pages. Ok, but not anything I'd recomment. "

" I listened to the unabridged audio edition. I love reading historical fiction. This book introduced me to aspects of life in Civil War America that I'd never considered. The story is brutal so I can't say I "enjoyed" it. But I'm very glad I listened to it. "

" This book is an incredible debut. The lingo and culture of the South during the Civil War is so raw. I loved this book. "

" Gritty. No holding back. Well written accounts of civil war battles, but not all the focus of the story. Keeps you wanting more. "

" A poor man's Cold Mountain. "

" I am biased. My best friend wrote this book. I love it. The story is solid and classic. The characters are smart. The backdrop of the south feels like home. I have enjoyed this book every single time I read it. "

" Dad said it was too Romancey for his taste. From what he said it seemed like it would be an excellent read-a-like for Cold Mountain. "
