An excellent work on William Wallace,
By
This review is from: William Wallace: The King's Enemy (Paperback)
Naturally with Braveheart ( and all its errors!! ) people with curiosity about one of Scotland's greatest Heroes have questions. This book goes a long way to presenting fact from fiction. Gray's work is easy to read, well balanced account of Scotland and Wallace.Gray starts with the background and clime of Scotland before Wallace came into play. Gives you chapters on Edward Longshanks moving through Balliol being raised to King by Edward's Great Cause, and sets the stage for the rising of Wallace. He work is well thought out, just not another repeating of tales, balancing previous details put forward about Wallace with whether they were truth or not. And excellent work for anyone wishing to learn more about Wallace.

A good and enlighting read.,
By Judith L. Smith (jsmith21@mail.state.tn.us) - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: William Wallace: The King's Enemy (Paperback)
A wonderful account of a mans passion for life and his integrity that could not be compromised. As mentioned in other reviews, I did see the movie Braveheart and wished to make a comparision. I am please to say that although they were differences there were no discrepancies. This was a easy read and I recommend it for any history buff. I am in the process of reading another account of William Wallances life. I understand that there are a couple of books in publication with regard to The King's Enemy and I plan to read them all. My ancestors are from Scotland and my interest lies in absorbing as much about this country before I visit. Once again a good read!

Nicely told,
By Author Brian Wallace (Mind Transmission, Inc.) - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: William Wallace: the King's Enemy (Hardcover)
a nicely written synopsis that can be read on vacation and enjoyed for hitting the high points and amusingly trailing off into interesting theories and ideas.Brief in scope but informative enough to satisfy your curiosity about this fascinating subject. A very nice read. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

You've seen the movie, now read the book,
By Smith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: William Wallace: The King's Enemy (Paperback)
An excellent account of the life and times of William Wallace. I would especially recommend it to anyone who has seen the movie "Braveheart" and wants to learn more about the actual history13th century Scotland. This book is short and readable enough for the layman while still containing enough substance to be worth reading.The book could be made more accessible to a mass audience by including a better map and other appendices such as a timeline and family trees. Overall though, it's well written and definitely worth reading! |
