rating:
I really enjoyed this book! Good ole Medieval times, and it was interesting to read of the class struggle, the Normans (stormin' Normans), invaders coming up from (modern day) France and treating the Anglo-Saxons like second-class citizens, but slowly fusing with their culture. But of course, the third class citizens are the two supporting Jewish characters. Of course, Ivanhoe's "friend" is Robin Hood, but you have to extrapolate more of that out of the story. Damsels in distress, Knights templars, jousting, intrigue, and humor are all woven into this great piece of historical fiction. READ IT TODAY! :) (And Sir Walter Scott is just awesome!)
