Ivanhoe Audiobook

" One of those classics that is not boring. Good thing it has a French dictionary in the back, because he uses a lot of French in this book. "

" This was the book that really got me excited about reading. I wasn't so big into reading before. "

" Chivalry, romance, adventure, this book has something for everyone! "

" The book starts off slowly and very descriptively; it took me 50 pages to get into it. However, the excitement and adventure picked up and it was a fun read. It was written almost 200 years ago, so it has some racial/religious/sexist prejudices and stereotypes from the middle ages and 1800s that were probably real but I didn't love them. Overall it was a great classic combining fictiously the lives of Robin Hood, King Richard, and Ivanhoe. "

" No review. I was surprised because I thought I knew what this book was about, but I didn't. Ivanhoe was central to the story but seldom in it. I recognized a few incidence (I swear) from Robinhood - Men in Tights. There was also the famous archery scene that is in every Robinhood movie. I have to go and rent this on Netflix now. I thought I remembered this as a serious book, but it is really funny! "

" This was a really cool book. It was kinda hard to get into the language of it, cause it's written in an old style, especially when it came to dialogue, but once I got the hang of it, it was a delight to read. "

" Knights, castles, damsels in distress, black night, fair maidens, chivalry,heraldry and Richard the Lion-hearted. Well written but not a favorite genre of mine. "

" Great classic...a bit dense, but worth the trouble. "

" I think Scott is underrated. If you like Robin Hood, jousting, flagons of mead, etc., this book is essential. "

" The book didnt hold my attention all the time but there were parts when i didnt want to put the book down. the dialect confused me sometimes and their wasnt a set main character. it was hard to follow "

" This was one of those books I'm glad I read but it was not a book that was very readable. "

" I picked this book up at the library thinking it could be pretty boring, but I quickly became hooked. I loved this story. "

" READ FIRST WHEN I WAS 12...then again in high school. exciting story for 12 yr.old. fell in love with rebecca not rowena. "

" Honorable knights, dishonorable knights, unrequited romance. "

" i listened to this and was surprised at how it kept my interest. very robin hoodesque. lots of knights riding around and maidens in distress. although i might not have liked it as much had i read it. "

" It was an interesting book. I enjoyed the jousting and the noble knights, but I was thrown by the racism that is apparent in regards to the Jews. I know that it wasn't uncommon, but it is disconcerting and, to me, rather disgusting to read about. "

" This took longer than I expected, and was really hard for me to get into it, and when i did I was really sucked in. The story is great the characters likable, but some of the things that happen seem unbelievable. All in all it was enjoyable, I do wish that i could read it again sometime. "

" Knights, castles, damsels in distress, black night, fair maidens, chivalry,heraldry and Richard the Lion-hearted. Well written but not a favorite genre of mine. "

" Alas, chivalry is not dead! I'm no sucker for a romance novel, but this one is the definition of a classic. Knights, Richard the Lionhearted, Robinhood, ladies in waiting- what's not to love?! "

" I told my teacher than I thought the villan, Brian Du Bois, was the most interesting character in the book and I couldn't help admiring him. He disagreed and told me to write a paper to support my feelings. I got an A+ "

" One book, one tent, 2 guys on Denali for 3 weeks. We would read this aloud to make it last longer. I turned out to be an excellent way to enjoy this book "

" This is the first classic I read. It's also one of the few I could read over and over again. Chivalry, romance, and swordplay clash to form an enjoyable novel. "

" I first saw a TV series about it and then I really was eager to know all about it. When I read it , I really liked it and I daresay Walter Scott had did a really good job!!! He described that ages really good that you felt like you are exactly living it!!! "

" I loved, loved, loved this book as a preteen. It was my favorite book of all time. My copy literally fell apart and had to be fixed with duct tape. Haven't reread it with an adult eye though. "

" Definitely in my top 5 favorite works of all time. "

" One of the favourite books from my childhood. "

" I was super busy when I read this book. It took me a long time to finish it. So, since the story was broken up because I would read it here and there over the course of a few months and that didn't help. But, I did really like the story. It was a good book and I liked the way it was written! "

" A complex story with an ultimately happy ending. This read is satisfying and humorous. "

" I started reading this book because I loved the movie. The book is a bit dry and I had trouble with the oldish language. I just didn't get caught in the story the way I did when watching it on the TV. Too bad when I can't get enough of the film. "

" I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I had chosen it because it was a classic, but after my previous attempts with the works of chivalry, I didn't have high hopes. However, the characters and story pulled me right in and I was hooked. "

" I listened to this book during several long car trips this summer. It was a lot of fun once I got into it and figured out who was who. The insults and threats thrown about are especially hilarious. Knave! "

" This book would have been right up my ally when I was going through my Robin Hood fix 25 years ago. Enjoyed the tale...definitely a vision of historical bigotries. "

" Hard to get through the Old English at first, but once I got into it it was a great book. "

" Great tale of the Middle Ages. With Robin Hood thrown in and everything. "

" The writting style took a few chapters to get use to, but soon was enthrawled in the book. Through the years I read the book twice. Very enjoyable. "

" There are times I wanted to skip ahead of the description, but I'm glad I didn't.<br/><br/>The ending wraps up a little too neat for me, but well worth waiting for. "

" I was surprised to find Robin Hood in this story!! I must admit I didn't know he as a part of this THe language made reading the book a bit challenging. I kept my dictionary close by and found the read enjoyable. Lots of knights in shining armour along with damsels in distress. Good fun. "

" Iconic. THe paintings of N C Wyeth just lept out at me from the words. The story is verbatim the plot of E Flynn's movie of Robin Hood--what a surprise to find it all here! And the treatment of Rebecca, the jewess, and her father--amazing. Excellent read "

" I am a sucker for classics. I'm just kind of weird like that. I liked the kind of alternate view of Robin Hood presented in this. A little too wordy in places, but that's pretty much to be expected. "
