Wow. I read this as a 19-year-old kid and thought it was good. Reading it as a 39-year-old man I realize that it's great. Michael Shaara has the rare gift of being able to see--and portray--both sides in this conflict with honesty and compassion. Lee, Longstreet, Buford and especially Chamberlain (who is the heart of this novel) come across as real human beings. The battle itself is presented with all the drama attendant in such a great event, and the description of the action is flawless. Pickett's Charge in particular is heartbreaking in its inevitability and its horrific destruction of life. This novel is a rare accomplishment and a beautiful experience (if war can be beautiful). I can't praise it enough. 5 well-deserved stars.

God, this book! Frustrating and repetitive and annoying and heartbreaking and brilliant. A great galumphing mess of a book that flattened me emotionally. What a painful, untidy, funny, harrowing experience. I get the frustration other people experienced with "Doomsday Book". There were many times I wanted to throw it across the room. The recurring "almost" revelations, the missed connections, the outdated tech (no cell phones in 2054?), the irritatingly obtuse characters. I wanted to scream at Connie Willis, "Get to the point!". The book is probably 200 pages longer than it needs to be. And yet. And yet. When Willis brings in the Black Death and the 14th Century characters she has so painstakingly created start to sicken and die, the effect is devastating. I sobbed hysterically after one particular death, and I haven't cried in years. Willis's depiction of the suffering inflicted by the plague is grim and unflinching and unforgettable. This is a book that you don't just read--you live it. I will not be the same after going through this experience. "Doomsday Book" is frustrating, overlong, irritating--and magnificent.
