Like the others, I agree that this book contains everything: history, romance, adventure, and more! The aspect of this book I found most interesting was the spiritual truth upon which Wallace and company continually reverted back to. Their undaunted faith in Christ was the element that held this story together for me. I agree with others that this book should be read in schools.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book remains one of my all time favorites right up there with Les Miseables and the Forsythe Saga; my 1883 edition published by John Wurtele Lovell in New York has 652 pages of very small print but it will be well worth a third reading. The historical detail in the footnotes is as interesting as the main story; e.g., referring to a shattered tower of the castle of Lammington a footnote reads, "The ruins of this tower are still visible; and near to them the people of this country point out the place where Wallace encamped his brave army". I had difficulty relating the movie, "Braveheart", with Jane Porter's account of Wallace and Bruce, and favor Porter's version of the relationship between Wallace and Bruce. During the second reading I was more aware of all the embracing and weeping by the cast of characters as portrayed by Porter; it seemed a little unreal and overdone, but she calls her novel a "romance" so she is forgiven. I have shared this book with many of my friends and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone from 9 yrs of age to 90.

A good read...Historically more accurate than Braveheart...
I read this book twice while I was in school, and now that I'm a History major, I've come to appreciate it even more. Lesen Sie weiter...

This book has everything: history, action, values, intrigue.
I read this book when I was 15 years old, twice. It has everything: History, action, values, intrigue etc. It should be required reading in every public or private school.

old style romanticism at its best!
I read this book long before "Braveheart" was made. I was so moved by the book, I sobbed through the last 150 pages. I have recommended the book countless times.
