Summary: 4 Stars
My father read this book to my sister and I when I was about ten, so naturally I have a lot of sentimental attachment to the romantic hero, Mathurin Kerbouchard, and his quest. The book also sparked an interest in medieval European and imperial Arab history, before I even entered high school. I re-read this book every-so-often, and find Kebouchard's adventures don't get tiresome with repetition.Book Review: A L'AMOUR CLASSIC
Summary: 5 Stars
The classic L'Amour novel, unlike anything he's ever done before or since. For those who dismiss L'Amour as being a mere western writer this great book will change forever your opinion of him. It's filled with engaging charactors, facinating detail, and some of the best writing this wordsmith ever commited to paper. My only gripe is this; Back in the sixties when this book was first proposed L'Amour was faced with such resistance by his publisher that he shelved it for more than a decade. Originally it was to be the first book in a trilogy that would continue Kerbauchard's adventures. Unfortunatly L'Amour went on to that ranch in the heavens before he could do it. Still we have this one.Book Review: A breath taking book! Excitment at every turn!
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't put this book down! At first it was unfamiliar country, but by the end of the book you know the land as well as Kerbouchard. It moves you through the story as if you were him. All of his adventures were astounding (however unlikely), but that made the story great how everything turns to a new threat within seconds, or a new lover, making you concentrate on keeping up with Kerbouchard, and keeping you from setting it down. I loved this book and like everyone else I want to find the sequel. It's driving me nuts!Book Review: A complicated epic
Summary: 4 Stars
There is many different places and characters that the main character encounters on his journey. Most of them have long and unpronounceable names. I recommend if you read this book to keep a pad of sticky notes and write down important characters and places in the book. This book is a very informational book that captures your magination and keeps you yearning to read more.
