Assessment Containing Books Across Five Aprils

I really liked the first few chapters of this book when the author was letting me get to know and connect with all the various members of the family. It was sweet and sympathetic. But once the war began the story went downhill. I wanted to see the affects of the war on the family, but the book was more like a child's class report. It tells the events but doesn't show the results of those facts.

I have heard about this book before, but I've never heard much more than this was a wonderful book. I never knew what it was about, where it took place, or the topic it discussed. So, when I was at a small thrift store close to where I live I saw this there for a quarter and I had to pick it up. Once I got home and I was adding it to my Goodreads I realized that it took place in Southern Illinois, and I knew I had to read it.I currently live in Southern Illinois, and I love it. It's extremely

First of all, anyone who gave this book a single star or complained "My lame teacher made me read this...." needs to be deleted. A few months ago, I was reminiscing about the mandatory reading that was required in junior and high school and one of the few I remembered was this story. I decided to read this since I realize you don't ever appreciate things when you're in high school.This book, to me is actually a 4.5 only because of the slow start until about chapter 4. The poor grammar of Jethro

i wish irene hunt's death could have been at least as agonizing as reading this.

Do they make kid's books like this sort anymore? Real and real painful. Across Five Aprils was required reading in 6th grade and it was as if the teacher's were saying "Life's a bitch, get used to it."I remember this as eloquently rendered and high-minded, gut-wrenching drama when I read it way back then. Mind you, I also thought TV's The Waltons was the height of drama, so maybe my opinion is a bit skewed on the subject.Just the same, Across Five Aprils, the story of brothers torn apart by the

This is one of the best novels I have read for the time period. I liked how it is told from young Jethro's perspective. So you get an innocent view of a 9 year old boy, on the verge of manhood of the times. It is also more family-centric. More on how it affects him, his sister, brothers, cousin, etc. There is tragedy, loss family divides as each must decide whom they support. We get a lot of the facts of the war as well but it is more on how it might have felt for the families waiting back home.

NEVER READ THIS BOOK!!!! I had to read it for school and it is like the worst book ever. It's all about the Civil war and blah blah blah. It's not even interesting and I didn't learn anything from it.
