Review Date: 8/23/2005


I hate to be repetitive , but I must agree with the other reviewers. I learned more about the Civil War & the key figures of that time than I ever knew----and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience!! I've toured Gettysburg before, but I plan on returning with a whole new perspective. This well written (Pulitzer winner) novel certainly aroused my curiosity.

Review Date: 8/23/2005


I found this a very enjoyable look into true determination. I couldn't put it down.

I enjoyed the book enough to rank it in the top 5 in my mystery-suspense category. I did not,however, find the final chapters as "utterly surprising" as claimed. In fact, I found the ending to be fairly predictable --- but enjoyable enough overall to be able to recommend. (4 stars)

I hope to have my "grown kids" & my grandchildren read this, not only for an introduction to Medgar Evers, but also for an understanding of life in America before they arrived on the scene.

Not bad, but I didn't think it was up to some other Patterson stories I've read.

Review Date: 7/24/2010


I went into this without having read any of the reviews, and had no lofty expectations as I had never read any of D.Lehane's work,though I did see(& enjoy)the Mytic River movie. What a pleasant surprise this was! Definitely a page-turner with well defined characters & plot twists galore. Best read in awhile. Five stars

Having read this many, many, many years ago (it may have actually been during the French Revolution),I decided it was time to re-read this one, & I am glad I did. Now "it is a far,far better thing that I do..." introducing Sidney Carton to someone else by making the book available to someone new.
