Scarecrow in Gray by Barry D. Yelton

I have read this book and I loved it! I didn't expect to but I did. What would I, one who knows little of the American Civil War, find to enjoy in such a work? Well, Mr Yelton is a beautiful writer and he manages to bring home the horror and futility of the struggle that his hero/ancestor finds himself in. It is such an engrossing tale that you find yourself immersed in the personal struggle that Francis Yelton has to go through. You want him to succeed even when you know that defeat is staring him in the face. The characters in the book come to life on every page. In the past I've read so many books with two-dimensional characterization in them that I almost despair of ever finding a 'human being' leading me through a novel. I had my reward with this book - what a splendid work.

This is a whopper of a book and I haven't read it but I am dearly tempted to. When the cash starts to roll in I'm getting this. Anyone who can put so much effort, love and passion into their creation deserves to be read.

I haven't read the book but I know the sincerity of the gentleman who wrote it and I truly believe that he has produced a remarkable work.

I'm going to get hold of this one because there is a certain universality about this book.

There will be more posts with more information on other books that I know of that are out there waiting to be read!
