Summary: A Booke of Loss
Comment: I just finished this book and I am saddened. What an incredible account of the First Crusade as experienced by this very spiritual and intelligent man of Provencal. His story, in his own words, is so descriptive and moving, that after shutting this book for the last time, I was quiet and reflective for a long time. The writer of the journal is Roger of Lunel, a very complex man whose faith is tested by the trials and atrocities committed by the pilgrimage of this western army to their ultimate destination, Jerusalem. He struggles through tests of faith and revelations, hauntings of past deeds, terrible violence wrought upon innocents along the way, power hungry aristocrats, lust, love, sacrifice, betrayal, duty, and loss.
Stephen J. Rivele, I am a writer of games and comics with aspirations to someday pen a novel as impactful and mature as you have accomplished here with "A Booke of Days." Stunning. Thank you.
Readers of this review, if you have an interest in military history, religious history, or the human element, this is a book well worth reading, and probably more than once. I can foresee myself taking it down from the shelf a year or two from now and experiencing it all over again.

Summary: This book was a HUGE disappointment
Comment: I have read lots of historical fiction. This was extremely vile historical fiction. This was more of one man's excuse to write about his fictional ancestor's sexual romps through Europe during the first Crusades. Lord Roger observes sex, has sex, talks about sex and thinks about sex. Oh, and there's also some references to the Crusades. Excessive in lust, violence, and carnal language. Lots of great research on the author's part, I'm sure, but all wasted as it's sandwiched in between very gratuitous descriptions of every type of sex! Some historical potential in there, but dusgusting to read.

Summary: A BOOKE OF GOOD READING
Comment: A BREATHTAKING NOVEL OF ONE MAN'S CRUSADE TO MAKE SENSE IN A WORLD GONE MAD. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ONE WHO ENJOYS DRAMA, TRAGEDY, HISTORY, ROMANCE POLITICS....THIS BOOK HAS IT ALL, TRUELY A MASTERPIECE. IT GRABS THE SOUL AND DOES NOT LET GO, EVEN AFTER THE READER IS DONE WITH THE BOOK.
