Status Updates From A Chain of Thunder

Not going to catch up in Catton before finishing this one. It's getting really exciting. This despite the fact that I know how it has to end, and the fact that Shaara essentially uses the same voice for all his characters.

Reading Catton's trilogy at same time. Trying not to read further here till Catton catches up to this point, or I should say, till I catch up to Catton's writing on this part of the war.

Riveting!

Starts slow but turns out to be worth it. Not sure about Sherman's voice, but everything else rings true to me. Really interesting!

Started a bit slow, but as soon as Shaara moves into more dialogue, both internal and between characters, it's great stuff. The whole book is about the year-long battle for Vicksburg, so only for those with that level of interest.
