5.0 out of 5 stars You have to read this book!, November 28, 2001

This review is from: Dove and Sword: A Novel of Joan of Arc (Point Signature) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is by far the best Joan of Arc book I have read yet, and I've read a lot about her! The story is told through the eyes of her neighbor, Gabrielle. I thought it was nice how it wasn't just some person saying "Then she went to here, and did this." It's in first person, and the way it is written, it seems like you're right there next to Gabrielle. The book sucks you in! You can't stop reading once you start! It's really a great story, because not only is there "historical fact" and war and conquering, but there is also romance! I started reading this book for a book report because it was the only one I could find in five minutes, but once I started it, I couldn't stop! This book is definitely one of my favorites, and I love reading all types of books! I know I'm using a lot of exclamation marks, but believe me, this book deserves it! If you don't read it, I promise you will be missing out!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best books I have ever read!, August 29, 1998

This review is from: Dove and Sword: A Novel of Joan of Arc (Point Signature) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was amazing! I didn't think much of it when I picked it up but after that I could never put it down again. It is a wonderful but tragic story of St. Joan of Arc, a young girl who goes to battle in France to end a terrible war. It is narrated by another girl, Gabrielle, who goes to war with her, as a healer. This book has so much depth and adventure and meaning to it. It is suspenseful, exciting, romantic, funny, sad, and breathtaking. Not many books have all that in it. I like books that change you after you read them and this was one of those books. This book was so well written and clear that it was like I was there with Gabrielle. I was excited with her, frightened with her and crying at the end with her. Read this incredible book and you won't be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely breathtaking!, June 20, 2004

This review is from: Dove and Sword: A Novel of Joan of Arc (Point Signature) (Mass Market Paperback)

I first read this book when i was in sixth grade and read it twice then, once in seventh, and once this past year in eighth. This book is wonderful and is my all-time favorite book. It changed my outlook on certain things in life and definatly caused an epiphany. The book is enrichened by friendship, loyalty, romance, and loss. If you are looking for a book that will change your life, this is the one for you. Although i must say that i believe girls may like it more than guys.....
