Book Reviews of Agincourt: A Novel
Book Review: Cornwell Proves Why He Is the Master
Summary: 5 Stars
Cornwell is the master of weaving great story lines, vivid characters and engrossing plots into accurate and well researched historical settings. After reading Agincourt, I really have a feel for what the English experienced--the privation, dysentary, hunger, desperation, inspiration and confidence in their longbows.
Perhaps my favorite Cornwell novel--and that's saying a lot!
If you're an historical fiction fan, you will not regret buying this book.
Book Review: He can't write a substandard book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one author who's books I devour from cover to cover and enjoy every page. It could be the Napoleonic wars, or Medieval Times, or the Dark Ages, or even the US Civil War,every novel is packed with high adventure, evil doers and ladies waiting to be rescued. It's all fun and great escapism.
This is one of his thicker than normal books and a page turner. Get lost in the days of old when Knights were bold.
Book Review: Agincourt
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is riveting from start to finish. One of the best books I've read in years! The author brings the events before and during the battle to life in the utmost clarity and detail in a way which is very believable. I rate it 5 stars and highly recommend it to any history buff. Warning: Agincourt contains graphic violence throughout, reflecting this graphically violent period.Book Review: History made fun
Summary: 5 Stars
Cornwell's book makes this history alive. Even though it is fictional it relates a realistic picture of the event. The novel draws the reader into history by making the story exciting. The broad picture follows the historical details as related in other books stated to be histories. Adding personalities over the historical facts adds interest and excitement to the events.Book Review: Agincourt
Summary: 5 Stars
Bernard Cornwell is an excellent author of historical fiction-you really learn some history, and enjoy it at the same time.
Agincourt, one of the most important battles of the middle ages, is brought to life in all it's blood and glory.The victory of Henry V over overwhelming odds is a true story with important ramifications to Western history.Very enjoyable!
