 A whole new perspective November 14, 2007
The historical genre is not my favorite. I picked up this audiobook after a recommendation by a friend. I was not disappointed. Michael Shaara really brought the civil war as a whole and Gettysburg in particular, into perspective. If you have any interest at all in the biography of the men involved (north and south) get this book.

I drive 23 miles one way to work and books on cd are a great pleasure to listen to. The book The Killer Angles is a must read. Any history Buff, especially any Civil War buff who has not read this book you don't know what your missing.
Review of Killer Angels By john Macdonald May 17, 2007
A well researched historical novel with a fictional dialogue which enhances the readers appreciation of this terrible battle.
Easy transaction. March 8, 2007
My husband hasn't listened to the book yet but I was pleased to find it on audio and I rec'd it very quickly. I know he'll enjoy it as I have already read the book.
 Wonderful book. Flawed narrator. October 15, 2006
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is a wonderful book to read but a terrible audio book to listen to. The narrator is so affected and languid sounding that it drains the energy from the novel. I could not have imagined anything taking away from the action of this book but the narrator's voice is so slow and languid that it's annoying. Almost sounds comical at times. I can only guess that they wanted it to sound genuinely "Southern" but I come from Texas and never heard a southern accent like that, except for Blanche DuBois. Really too bad because it's a wonderful book.
