The Saracen Blade in Review,
By A Customer
This review is from: Saracen Blade (Hardcover)
The Saracen Blade is definately the best novel I have read in my 21 years of life. I have read this book countless times and I am in the process of using it to write a research paper for my Literature class. Frank Yerby is a lesser known author that deserves much credit. Every one that has read this book has loved it and it has even made avid readers out of some that I know. This book teaches the reader about history, love, pain, war, and what our world used to be like in great detail. It is a book about two people in love set in the 12th and 13th century towards the end of feudelism. It is the tale of a gently born serf that falls for the daughter of a baron and how is life progresses. He becomes a knight, baron, the friend of the Holy Roman Emporor and much more. It is the tale of his life and how he overcomes the odds to become what he has always wanted and deserved. This is a MUST read for all people.

top ten fictions i have read,
This review is from: Saracen Blade (Hardcover)
THIS BOOK COULD EASILY BE AS IMPORTANT AS ANY REQUIRED HIGH SCHOOL OR COLLEGE NOVEL. AS EASY TO READ AND EXCITING AS THE HOBBIT, BUT BUILT ON REAL SUBJECTS, REAL HISTORY, REAL HUMANITY. THE AUTHOR EXPLORES MORALITY, ANCIENT HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY, RELIGION AND EVEN MECHANICS OF WAR. A GREAT BOOK FOR ALL AGES. MY 80 YEAR OLD FATHER READ THIS BOOK IN 1952 AND RECOMMENDED IT IN 2002 TO HIS 40 YEAR OLD SON.

What a love story,
By A Customer
This review is from: Saracen Blade (Hardcover)
This is probably the only love story that I have ever enjoyed. Yes it is historical fiction but the story that two lovers kept apart for such a long time just breaks my heart. I first read this book as a young one. I then found a copy while in high school(and loaned it out, never to return). I shall endlessly search until I find a copy again.
