I recently finished reading this book as well and thought it was very good. The writing was exceptional and vivid. The story was powerful, upseting and at times ironic. It was refreshing to see a book written about a part of the world so often reported in the news but that most of us know so...

I've tried to watch the movie renditions a few times, but they always fall way short of the book. One movie rendition I saw of it was totally cheesy. Looked like it was filmed with a handheld camera and no costume budget :)

Are there any Ivanhoe fans out there? I loved that book, one of my favorite classical reads of all time. I couldn't get into Talisman though, both by Sir Walter Scott. Anyone else read much classical literature?

I've read that statistically about 10% more women read than men. I've also seen a recent study that showed 73% of US Adults read at least 1 book a year.

Of course the question I have to ask now is would you rent? :)

I stopped halfway through, I found it too slow and depressing. I guess that is the point though, isn't it :)

Hi, I'm Dustin and I'm new around here. I'm looking forward to meeting other avid readers and discussing some of my favorite authors. If you have a chance, check out my site too. Thanks!

I'm 34, started reading for leisure after college beginning with classic literature. Now I'm into fun stuff like Vince Flynn!
