Query: Confusing and Unrealistic

This is one of my least favorite books ever. I was required to read it for school, and not only is it totally confusing and unrealistic, but the descriptions of battles and dead soldiers are repulsive. It stars a young man who wishes to gain his own "red badge of courage," a battle wound, in order to "prove" his courage. This young man supposedly "grows up" after seeing the horrors of war, but, personally, his maturity seems rather debatable to me. For a better Civil War era book, I would recommend "Killer Angels," or for another point of view, "Gone with the Wind." I think your time should be spent reading more valuble novels.
