I read this April 2012
Why: I have somehow been given this book as my World Book Night Book this year, I didn't chose it (I wanted The Book Theif) but as I have 24 copies to give out I thought I should read it
Plot: It is set at teh start of the Hundred Years War, a period in history I didn't know much about, about a religuos relic - The Lance of st george that gets stolen on a French radi to the English coast and the adventures of the soldier trying to gain it back.
What I thought: I wasn;t looking forward to reading this I have to say, not really my cuppa, but having read it I must admit it is a really weel researched and written book. By the end I actually can say I did enjoy it. Unlike some historical novels I wasn't thinking is that right? It all seemed very authentic.
Have you read this or any of his others (there are loads)?
I give this 9/10
Tell me what you think...
