Never thought about doing book reviews on youtube -- maybe we should start doing that -- Cathy, you could review all the Chadwicks...and put Ms. "Didn't Really Understand This Because It Has History In It" in her place!

Sigh, another one in need of stoning.

Sorry to be the first to give this book 3 stars, but I really struggled with it. I found the tedious battle scenes / sword fights and the constant use of old words such as destriers and gambesans really spoilt the book for me.
Geographically it was confusing and a map of the area would have been helpful.

My you ladies are on a roll this morning. Misfit the kittycat makes very rare appearances on camera. Once upon a time I used a video of her for an Amazon review. Can't find it now.

Historically it was interesting, detailing the cruel crusade of the Catholics against the peace loving Cathars in the first half of the thirteenth century and the devastating destruction wrought in the name of religion,

Interesting comment made by someone from the middle East - maybe she is really sick of violence in the name of religion - who knows? If that is the case, maybe she better steer clear of all HF!!frown
