I would give the book closer to 3.5 than 4.

Other reviews on here said the book either equaled or surpassed Killer Angels.

I wouldn't go there. It was a good read, and the battle scenes are superb. But for me, Killer Angels is a superior story.

The dialogue between the soldiers was passable, not great.

If I were recommending one novel about Gettysburg, it would be Killer Angels. But if I were recommending it to someone with a love of the civil war, I would definitely give it a high recommendation.

8.5 fish hooks out of 10.
