With Every Drop of Blood Mass Market Paperback – December 1, 1996

I give this item a 5 star rating!I ordered this item for a junior high class. The teacher uses it every day and the class loves it! The item arrived quickly and in great shape. Good service!

Great book that truly shows how much one's belief were instituted to the extreme of giving up one's life for a cause.

I had to read this book for a social studies historic novel project. It was slow in the beginning, but as it progressed, it became increasingly more intersesting. If I didn't have to read it for school, I definately would not have read it.This book gives you a lot of information and it seems to be very realistic and at some points you feels as though you yourself are in the scenes and there with the main characters.This book is very understandable and I recommend it for children ages 11 and older because there is death and violence all throughout the story.

This was the most interesting book that I have ever read.There's nothing wrong with the book.I liked this book because of the speech and the dialogue.

Its okay I had to read it for 5th grade school but I read it before when I was in 1st. (In 1st I had a 4th grade reading level and by 4th I had an adult reading level finishing the hunger games in 2 hours) I thought it was a bit predictable but then again I don't like books about the past futurist is more my style. ;-)

A+

I was browsing in the children's section of the library, found this book, and thought it looked interesting, so I borrowed it. Generally I enjoy historical fiction and this was no different. It even got me interested enough to check out some of the details mentioned in the book--General Early, Mr. McLean, etc. (From wikipedia: "It is said that the American Civil War started in Wilmer McLean's back yard and ended in his front parlor.") This is an excellent book to get kids interested in the Civil War, if they don't see reading it as a "chore".Aside from friendship, which other reviewers spoke about, I like the way Johnny does what needs doing. He doesn't complain about all the work he has to do while his father is away fighting. He just accepts it. The whole concept of responsibility is foreign in our culture. Maybe Johnny's attitude will rub off on readers.One con--I could see how a kid could get bored with the book early on. Parts of it may seem weird to kids--mules?! butchering pigs?! hard work?!?!?! and therefore make it hard for them to relate. Still, I definitely recommend this book.

I found this book very hard to put down! It is actually very interesting for a Civil War Novel. I had to read this for History/English class, and unlike many other books I have read, I found it quite interesting! The story is about a boy who decides to fight in the Civil war, and is caught by a Union soldier. He decides to trick the soldier into thinking he had befriended him so that he could escape. He never actually gets away, until the very end, because by that time, the war was over. I think I liked this book because of the dialogues between the characters. I think that this book is almost my favorite Civil War book, but it did get somewhat boring at times. Other than the few times that it slowed down to a crawl, it was a very good book, and I recommend it!

Read this as back up to work done at school on Civil War. A thought provoking book. Would definitely recommend
