    "Interesting story"

    Interesting Civil War insights. Entertaining format. Would be better without the steamy scenes. Not needed.

    "Always a treasure"

    I loved reading this book back in the 80's. Audible lets me go back in time and enjoy again. I listen on the road traveling from place to place. The narrator gave a superb performance bringing the characters 'to life. Going on to the next in the series immediately.

    "Please Read"

    Some books are wroth your time and some are not, this one is wroth your time. The story is well told and there is a history lesion in there for those who listen. John Jake was wright in his thanks to all the people who help make this happen: The quote was not his but the meaning is still the same We are still fighting this war and we will be fighting it until both side can say they where wrong. But these two family show that you san rise above anything that is put in front of you, The county could have learn a lot from them. So please listen to this book all of them it is wroth your money and time.

    "Better Than Expected"
    What made the experience of listening to North and South the most enjoyable?

    This Trilogy is a must read for anyone who enjoys American History and particularly the Civil War era. The characters are very well developed and interesting. Loved this series of books and wish it did not end at 3. Grover Gardner does an excellent job of narrating. Each character was brought to life by Grover.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Charles - True gentleman and warrior.


    Which character – as performed by Grover Gardner – was your favorite?

    Grover Gardner did an outstanding job of bringing all the characters to life.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    When one of the main characters dies in the second book. In the last book when another vital character dies.

    "If you like Ken Follett..."

    This is masterful story telling that captures the prevailing attitudes of the North and South leading up to the Civil War. If I didn't know any better, I'd think this was a Follett novel. Jake's style reminded me of Follett's century trilogy. A must read for anyone who found the antebellum period boring in history class, or anyone like me that loves Civil War novels.
