Boring Book reviewed by Kell |
Do you like a book with lots of excitement and adventure? Then Secrets of a Civil War Submarine is not for you. Secrets of a Civil War Submarine is an informational book about one of the first submarines, The Hunley, and it shows you how the ship works, all of the crew members, and all of the boring missions. Maybe it sounds interesting to you, but to me it is very boring. The only thing that won't keep you from falling asleep is the part where you figure out why the submarine sank. At the end it shows you what they think the crew looks like, and artifacts that were found, and the secrets that the captain kept. If this sounds like the book for you then read it. But I do not like this book, and I do not recommend it.

Out of all the books i read this book had to be on my top ten most favorite books.This book was the most entertaining for all ages.This book was about a confederate submarine that was built to destroy the union blockade which was stoping other ships from porting to trade goods and many other objects.So there was a man thats name was Horace Hunley he was the man behind the sub.The sub was named the hunley after horace built it.That was the beggining of a legend. |

A really fascinating book |
On the night of February 17, 1864, history was made when, for the first time ever, a submarine sank an enemy ship. The submarine was the C.S.S. H.L. Hunley, a hand-powered Confederate warship! However, when time came for the Hunley to return to port, it failed to return.
For over one hundred years, the world speculated as to what might have happened to the Hunley. In 1995, news flashed around the world, the Hunley had been located! This book is the story of the Civil War career of the Hunley, the twentieth century search for her, her discovery and recovery, and what the archaeologist and engineers have discovered.
Overall, I found this to be a really fascinating book. Though it Young Adults category, it does such an excellent job of covering its material that readers of all ages will be entranced by the story. I heartily enjoyed this book, and think that you will too. I highly recommend this book! |
