5.0 out of 5 stars It made me feel like I was living the action and love story., January 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Viking (Paperback)

It was a fancyful ride into another time and place. The characters were vibrant and alive. I could not put the book down and afterwards it held a special place of honour amongst my favorites. I never could part with it or any other of Fabio's.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's a Gary Stu!, May 24, 2010

This review is from: Viking (Paperback)

It's obvious from the beginning that this book is a major Gary Stu (a male version of a Mary Sue, also known as Gary Sue and Marty Stu.) Marco/Viktor is Mr. Perfect. Well, except for one major flaw. He expects the women in his life to give up all their dreams and live his. When his first girlfriend refuses to give up her career to be his baby-making machine, he continues filming his movie, only to be thrown back in time. He kidnaps the step-daughter of the evil Wolfgard and again, tries to force her to change who she is to satisfy him. Even when assassins threaten he won't do the sensible thing and let her return (even for a short time) to her homeland so she'll be safe.

Nope, Marco/Viktor is a male chauvinist pig who thinks all women need to do whatever he says. Whenever Reyna challenges him he threatens to spank/thrash/clobber her, even though he knows Wolfgard used to beat her with a whip!

For a guy who makes his living in romance, Fabio doesn't know diddly squat about it!

4.0 out of 5 stars It was an Enjoyable Listen!, April 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Viking (Paperback)

I listened to an audio cassette tape version of Viking and though I thought I would probably hate it and think it was hokey I found myself really having fun listening to the story and totally liked it and the fact that Italian actor Marcello filming a movie about the ancient Vikings is transported back to Iceland during the time of the Vikings becoming Viktor the Valiant a Viking warrior, and I really liked Marcello/Viktor, and Monica/Reyna, in fact I liked this audio cassette version of Fabio's story so much I'm going to search the used book stores for the paperback book. My only minor complaint with the audio cassette version is that the American woman who read the story didn't use any accents, and though I would have liked the reader to have used the proper accents I think she had a very nice sounding voice and even with the minor complaint of the accents I still feel that the audio is a keeper!
