Title: Interesting, confusing, repetitive, lively...
Review: I found the writing and information in this book to be worth reading and interesting and lively enough to keep me reading. However some information was a bit repetitive (i.e. the favorite of the count) while other information seemed lacking (i.e. refering to places in frace that i know not).It is worth reading because: 1. It has good information that is based on actual records but isn't so dry you can't wade through it. 2. The story is a good one to think about in terms of implications on our own justice systems in the current world. 3. It reshapes how you think about people of the knightly era.It isn't worth buying because: 1. The story isn't written to contain facets that you enjoy reading over and over. 2. It is neither dumbed down quite enough for a person who has no knowledge of that history (outside of inaccurate movies and books) nor a good compilation of really academic information. 3. There are no really pretty pictures.
