Book Reviews of Druids

Book Review: An interesting historical novel.
Summary: 4 Stars

I don't know quite enough about the historical perspective to be able to make a judgement about historical accuracy in this book. It is important to bear that in mind when reading this review. On the other hand, besides being an avid reader, I have a degree in literature so, that is something I'm capable of judging.
Druids tells us the story of Vercigentorix and the Gaul's fight against the Roman dominion, told by the lead druid of Vercigentorix's tribe. The intricate politics (if you can call it that) of the different gaulish tribes and Vercigentorix's attempt to unite them are extremely well depicted.
It is a very well written novel that has its main strength in Morgan's ability to build a story around its characters. The personal side to the story is very well documented throughout and the reader is lead to a point where you feel the characters' pains. What I find particularly interesting is the fact that, although we are hoping that the weeker side, as usual, wins, Morgan never turns Cesar into a villain. The meeting of Vercingetorix and Cesar is one of two great warriors and generals, who respect each other for their conquists and capability in the field of battle. The accomplishment of this relationship is what, in my view, turns this book into something quite special. Read it and see for yourselves, but please, for all that's holy in this life, DON'T see the film!
