The nitty gritty of the Civil War
I liked many aspects of this book, such as the descriptions of the everyday lives of the soldiers and nurses during the Civil War. I think the title is a little misleading as it makes the book sound like a romance, which it really isn't. However, several historical inaccuracies took me out of the story, such as the use of gasoline described in an early scene and gasoline would have been a very unlikely commodity during the Civil War. However, the battle scenes and things like that seemed to be very well researched.

The Spy Lover
I found the topic of this book very interesting. I had not known of how Chinese immigrants were involved in the Civil War. Unfortunately the use of three main alternating viewpoints (plus that of occasional brief views of more characters) made it hard for me to follow some of the more important pieces of the story.
