Summary: The Book of the Lion review
Comment: I disliked The Book of the Lion because of the boring rising action. Michael Cadnum does a good job of giving details but in some parts of the book he tells the story in a boring and slow way.
In The Book of the Lion an apprentice named Edmund was awaken at night by the Exchequer's men. They were sent from the king to punish his master for making counterfeit coins. This part of the book got me absorbed into the story, but as I read more throughout the book I started to get more and more bored of the story. Michael Cadnum is a good writer because of the details he gives but he should make The Book of the Lion's story go a little faster.
This book has a good story and has a lot of details. Readers must be able to stick to a long and somewhat boring rising action in order for them to actually like the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the subject.

Summary: A GREAT BOOK!!
Comment: This book is about Edmund a young apprentice to a metal worker whose Master is a counterfeiter. Edmund goes to prison but gets out with a knight as a squire. So he goes to war and fights at Acre and Arsuf. It is bloody but VERY exciting. I couldn't stop reading. When you read it, it is like your there. I could hear the cry of wounded men, the sound of metal on metal and the rocks on the walls. If i could rate this book on a scale from 1-10 it would be a 9 1/2!

Summary: The Book of the Lion Review by Colin
Comment: The Book of the Lion: Michael Cadnum
Edmond's life is perfect. He is an apprentice of a blacksmith and is friends with a girl that he likes named Elviva. One day all this was ruined when his master was caught counterfeiting gold coins. His master was brutally killed by the soldiers and Edmond had a choice of his hands being chopped off or get sent off with the crusade because he was no better than a thief. He chose to be sent off with the crusade and believes that he won't be able to see Elviva again.
Edmond becomes a second squire of a knight called Sir Nigel. After a long trip across the ocean there was a gust storm and a squire fell off the ship. Since Edmond was already a second squire of Sir Nigel he took place of the lost squire. The crusaders lay siege on the Castle of Acre.
The story takes place in the medieval days where squires and knights take place. I felt like I was in the story myself as Edmond being one of the many squires and knights fighting their way into Acre. Once I started reading I couldn't put down the book for hours and the next thing I knew it was done. I recommend this book who likes historical fiction and lots of action at the climax.
