Azincourt (Agincourt) Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Maybe it's me, but it seemed rather same ol' same ol'. And the talking saints were ridiculous. "

" I loved this book! It's an incredibly descriptive mixture of historic fact, myth and informed conjecture about what is perhaps the most famous battle in the history of England, Agincourt. "

" This its a fabulous audio book, and an instance where the narrator made all the difference. Not being a great lover of military history I suspect I would not have made it through a print version, but the audio version was full of excitement and the different characters were vivid and well defined. "

" Loved this book. The pages flew by, good characters, interesting historical details. Am definitely going to check out other books Cromwell has written. "

" While I knew going in that the era of this book was one of violence,the descriptions of the battles (with pikes and swords and maces and battle axes and poleaxes) was horrifying. Following Hook the archer as he madehis way with Henry V's army provided a fascinating look into the times. "

" Well written as all Cornwell's books are. Using a fictional character allows the author to really place you into history. The book is fast paced and I loved learning the historical facts of life and warfare during the time. "

" Bloody, violent, classic Middle English. The tale of an archer, which I learned much about through this story. I'd say a dark beauty. "

" I like the author, particularly the Sharpe series. His ability to give the flavor of the times is especially good. The power of the church during this time is interesting. "

" Really very interesting. Enjoyed it. "

" An enjoyable read. A big fan of Shakespeare's Henry V, so was certainly drawn to the subject matter. It wasn't quite what I was expecting but kept me interested throughout. I enjoyed it enough to seek out other books by Cornwell. "

" Overall, the story followed the plot of the Thomas Hookton novels, except compressed into one volume. "

" Bernard Cornwell est un excellent raconteur et c'est avec beaucoup de plaisir que j'ai suivi les aventures de Nick Hook. "

" Standard Cornwell fare - plucky likable but flawed hero, excellent historical research, pacy writing. What is not to love. "

" Nothing like a good medieval historical novel to get my juices going. This one is a real page-turner and a fast read. Very graphic in some of the details, of course these were violent times. Bernard Cornwell is quite a story-teller. "

" Liked it, didn't love it. I got a little bored with so many battle/fight scenes but I will try this author again. "
