The Son of Neptune

        This book is 544 pages and is written by Rick Riordan. The narration switches between the three main characters: Percy, Frank, and Hazel. The plot revolves around Greek and Roman mythology. Percy, Frank, and Hazel must go on a daring quest to save camp Jupiter, a place in which demigods are trained to fight against evil creatures.
        This book accurately uses the stories of Roman and Greek mythology. The character development is quite good and the author does a great job at describing the monsters and heroes.
        I have read all of the other books in the series and found this one to be just a good as the others. The Son of Neptune is for children in middle school who enjoy Greek mythology. I recommend reading other series by Rick Riordan I give this book five stars.

The Killer Angels

This book is 325 pages and is written by Michael Shaara. The narrators are multiple generals during the Civil War including Robert E. Lee, James Longstreet, and Joshua Chamberlain. The whole story is about the Battle of Gettysburg. Most of the book describes the meetings between the Confederate generals. Most of the time they talk about tactics. As you get to know these men you grow to respect them for their kindness to their soldiers. Even though these men are defending the side of slave owners they earn your respect. In the book they are not depicted as men who support slavery, but as people who are doing their job.  The book gives good visual images of the different regiments surrounding Gettysburg at different times during the battle.

 I thought the characters were very well-developed and interesting. I enjoyed this book, mostly because of its great detail. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy history novels. I would give this book three stars.
