The Talisman Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Not my favorite of his - that would be Ivanhoe, which comes next and is one of my all-time favorites - but a nice suspenseful light-hearted romp none the less. Though a little windy at times. One wishes, like the jousters, that he would just get to the point! "

" Enjoyable, but not my favorite from Scott. Portrayal of Saladin a bit too gushing. "

" Very interesting... But dreary to a young girl in these times..:/ "

" This is a mighty classic, and the first time I've read it since I was small. "

" I'm a big Crusades buff, so I love this book. Scott again proves he is the master of historical fiction, & there's a nice love story to boot! "

" "I sleep - wake me not." What a great motto! "

" Loved it!!! A great one! "

" I'm suspicious to talk about this book because it talk about the crusades in an romantic aspect. It is a dense story but an amazing tale :) "

" I have read this book a few times but it has been many, many years and I am due for a reread. I will give a more detailed review when that happens, but in the meantime, I will say this is probably my very favorite novel from the father of historical fiction. A must read for any HF buff! "

" Never judge others, you never know who or what they really are about. Treat all Gods children like Gods children! "

" Oh so romantic! I love all of Sir Walter Scott's novels. "

" This is a most marvelous book. But VERY difficult to read. Warning for 18th century sentence structure. Bring a hatchet! "

" Very enjoyable. I have not read many books based on these events and period of time. "

" Has some weird spiritual stuff toward the beginning. Otherwise interesting and fun. "

" Very disappointing. I used to love Scott as a teenager, but I've changed and maybe this isn't one of the best? "

" Eh, it was ok. Kind of long for what the story was. "

" I'm actually only 4/5 done with this so it gets 4 stars. But I'm mostly loving it so it gets 4 stars. And it's well-written, only with some few boring paragraphs so it gets 4 stars. "

" Very interesting... But dreary to a young girl in these times..:/ "

" Very little action, a lot of conversation, and quite good. A great depiction of courtly love in all its strangeness. It would have been better without all the disguise, methinks-- at least as concerns Saladin. And the title has nothing to do with the book, but that's fine. "

" Knightly honor is the underlying theme in this wonderful novel by Scott. Lots of action, a love story, all set with the Crusades as a backdrop "

" Most excellent book. Must read. "

" "I sleep - wake me not." What a great motto! "

" Ok, peguei no livro naquela do "Vai ser interessante...". Bastou ler o primeiro parágrafo para pensar "Oh Meu Deus, mas que livro!" E é verdade, o livro é fantástico e adorei! "
