Honestly, this book has the slowest moving plotline of any book I have ever read. And the worst part about it is there is very little character development going on. However, through the info given on the back cover, and from what I've read so far, I predict that soon the author will start to talk about The General's past and the war's he's been in, which hopefully will be interesting. But for now, since there is no plotline or character development to talk about, here is a list of interesting/difficult voab from the book:
sentry-n-a soldier stationed at a place to stand guard and prevent the passage of unauthorized persons, watch for fires, etc., esp. a sentinel stationed at a pass, gate, opening in a defense work, or the like.
dysentery-n-an infectious disease marked by inflammation and ulceration of the lower part of the bowels, with diarrhea that becomes mucous and hemorrhagic.
gainsay-v-to deny, dispute, or contradict.
reconcile-v-to cause (a person) to accept or be resigned to something not desired.
interminable-adj-monotonously or annoyingly protracted or continued; unceasing; incessant.
credulity-n-willingness to believe or trust too readily, esp. without proper or adequate evidence; gullibility.
