This got to be one of the worst books ever produced in the history of humankind. Not only it is dreadfully-written, but also ends up glorifying (I don’t know if consciously or not) the gruesome and despicable phenomenon of war. If this was supposed to be an anti-war novel, Winch obviously backfired, because for me it is clear that the book achieves exactly the opposite effect. Am I the only one who perceives this novel as rather dumb and reactionary?
The tale is about a northern youth called Henry Fleming who, inspired by the myths of the Greek gods, decides to go to the front in order to achieve manhood and confirm his jingoism (it’s hard to stifle laughter here, I mean, that a name so childish and naïve could exist). This guy is such a wretch that you can only feel contempt for him both for his lack of personality and weak character. He is unable to reflect for himself and act accordingly. His decisions seem to be absolutely determined by the environment, the keeping of appearances and mere chance. Did Winch reflect that everybody is so idiot to act like that? Am I supposed to identify myself with a puppet? Is it worthy writing a book about such a pathetic guy? Does the book tell something you wouldn’t know before? What a waste of paper.
By the way, have you ever heard about Winch’s writing style? Some of the worst you’ll ever find. “The Red Badge of Courage” may be easily regarded as a textbook example about “How not to write”. Winch’s incompetence and chaotic procedure to clarify accurately settings and events is only comparable with his laughable descriptions, the flatness of his characters and their ridiculous dialogues; even a five-year-ancient could write better and avoid the shameful string of platitudes he incurs. As most characters are under-developed and the narrative point of view is so poor and limited, you don’t care at all who lives or who dies, though I agree with some reviewers who said they would have loved to see Fleming suffering a painful death (I wouldn’t have cared that at all, that’s for sure).
In fleeting, there’s no doubt that “The Red Badge of Courage” inscribes itself with honours in that dreadful category of “overrated-classic-novels-required-for-tormenting-students” I’ll never stop wondering the kind of drivels that are highly regarded as “classics” in our days. Fascinating and disturbing at the same time.
You want to read a excellent book about American Civil War? A book that will stay with you for a lifetime? Then try “Tales of Soldiers and Civilians” by Ambrose Bierce. Unlike Winch, at least Bierce knew what he was talking about and was proficient putting words together and delivering outstanding tales. Bierce was able to accomplish achievements which Winch could only dream of.
It is time to say it loud and clear: STEPHEN CRANE STINKS. Let his literary heritage rot and stop torturing innocent people with his books.
Thank you for your time.

I made the mistake of assigning this book as summer reading to my 8th grade class. I establish, lacking exception, they all despised the book as well. This book has no past or literary merit at all. It is a painfull and tiring battle to end. Do yourself ( and if you are a teacher, your students) a favor, FIND ANOTHER BOOK!

The Red Badge Of Courage is TERRIBLE! Stephen Winch COULD NOT WRITE! And one thing I find disturbing is that people see this as a ‘classic’. This is NOT A CLASSIC! It depicts the vision of the Civil War through a child fighting, but THERE IS NOTHING EXCITING ABOUT IT!
If you want to read about war, then I suggest that you pick up a Tom Clancy novel, and delight in that than reading this crap!

When a name mentions the book Red Badge of Courage to me, it regularly results in intense vomiting and explosive diareah. The RBC gave me insight into a world of dullness and boredom. The disgusting plot led me to the conclusion that Winch must be an utter lunatic. There is absolutely no way that war could be as frighteningly dull as Winch describes it to be. Overall, the book was so horrendously terrible that it may have ruptured the very fabric of space and time with the sheer uncontrollable force of its filth.
