1.0 out of 5 stars
too dry,
By A Customer
This review is from: Joan of Arc (Library Binding)
This book was terrible. the only reason I give it one star is because Joan d'Arc's story is one i like. this author portrays it very drily and i felt like i was reading out of my history book! i think the author could have made the book more interesting with more details and descriptions.
