Book Reviews of The Walking Drum
Book Review: A really good yarn
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not your typical Louis Lamour western it is set in the middle ages and has a great story about a lad growing to manhood while he looks for his missing pirate father. I know Lamour claims to be very accurate in his writing about the facts in history that he relates so I hope that what he describes in the story is true, but if not it still makes for a fun time and great adventure.Book Review: A sweeping saga
Summary: 5 Stars
I must admit that L'Amour is not my favorite writer but this book was hard to put down. It is a sweeping vision of a time that is little touched upon in most history courses. The best part of the book are the wonderful descriptions of Muslim Spain and the section inside the Assassins' stronghold. L'Amour's style is clear and he depicts his characters as very human but as heroic humans. I highly recommend it. It is especially good reading for high schoolers.Book Review: Addictive
Summary: 5 Stars
I recommend this book for anyone. I have read it eight times now and just started to read it again this morning. Awesome classic.Book Review: Best Book I've Ever Read
Summary: 5 Stars
Walking Drum is one of the best books I've ever read. The sensory details are breathtaking and the plot is amazing. I checked it oput from the library, but then bought it after I read the first few chapters. I recommend to anyone, middle school and above. This book is in comparison to the Harry Potter series.Book Review: Best historical fiction ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had to read this book my sophomore year in high school. I am so glad my teacher assigned this! It is very well-written. You truly feel as though you are actually experiencing everything in the book. I found it to be very accurate and very rich in detail. I wish the author had been able to write a sequel.
