Book Reviews of Jacob's Ladder: A Story of Virginia During the War
Book Review: An Excellent Work of Fiction
Summary: 5 Stars
Jacob's Ladder is the best novel I've read concerning the Civil War. The prose is crisp, the characters are wholly believable, and the setting is vivid. This book is not simply a genre novel; it's a deep and thoughtful and compelling work of fiction. It's too bad it has never gotten the publicity and acclaim it deserves.
