1.0 out of 5 stars This well-meraning book is a mess and a waste of money, November 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Last Mass of the Knights Templars (Paperback)

Despite the large ad in the NYTimes, this book disappointed me grievously. It seems written by a high-schooler for high-schoolers: Limp, fuzzy prose; foggy history. A key name spelled variously; a century wrongly named; Avignon moved to northern France. A mess! I think the publisher is one of those self-publishing outfits. I should have been on my guard.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, December 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Last Mass of the Knights Templars (Paperback)

I enjoyed The Last Mass of the Knights Templars a great deal. I have done some reading about this period since I find it interesting. The history in this novel seems accurate. Likewise, the history and rituals of the Roman Catholic Church are appropriate. I learned history, plus found the author's view of the motivations and emotions of the principal historical characters fascinating. Finally, it is simply an entertaining story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story of the church and knights, December 3, 1999

This review is from: The Last Mass of the Knights Templars (Paperback)

I thought the book was very well reserched. Along with the historical information on the Templar Knights, a winsome group of present day Crusaders set out on the Adventure of a lifetime. I think the blending of Church history and knighthood with historical events provides a beautiful backdrop for a superbly written story. I found the story very interesting and informative, especially in regards to the Templar Knights.
