The Red Badge of Courage is considered a classic piece of American literature about a boys experience in the Civil War. I knew it was a book about war going in and I tried to enjoy it anyway. I couldn't, but not because it was about war. The dialogue was an atrocious mess of apostrophes, It was so bad that I could only barely decipher what was being said in some passages. The storyline itself seemed mildly interesting and it is quite possible the book is very good in a literary sense. Unfortunately for me, the speaking style was barely tolerable and I found it very hard to stay involved in what was going on. ( )

This book is about a young boy and his time dealing with war. He is a union solider in the Civil War. He must learn to deal with his feelings and emotions during this difficult time.

Beautiful almost child-like recording of a young civil war soldier and the horror of war.

Harry Fleming, a coward, goes off to war, thinking it is a glorious thing that will make him famous and well-known. Soon, he discovers that war isn't all about glory and does anything necessary to save his own hide in the midst of battle.
I would recommend this book to people who use a lot of imagination when they read, otherwise, it will be very boring. ( )

I was absorbed in reading change of Henry's feelings.
This story is a bit brief, but this is rich in content. And this book made me think something about war.
I'd like to watch movie if I have a opportunity, ( )
