Grace Weng - The Killer Angels
I chose to read the novel “The Killer Angels” because even though we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, that’s exactly what I did. This book is unique from other texts about the civil war since it shares the viewpoints of multiple characters from each side, since most stories usually focus on the side that’s considered the “heroic” side. Michael Shaara does a good job at retelling the bloody war accurately with the use of real, historical figures and keeping away from biased opinions. The overall omniscient point of view gives a nicely unbiased look at the war for how it really was; bloody and brutal.

I think most people judge a book by its cover and don't even realize it because before any reading is done something has to attract you to pick up the book whether it is the title or the cover. I think with such a large and important topic like the Civil War it is good that there is more than one viewpoint given to give the audience a better understanding since no two people can see something the same way.
