Sarah S. (enlith) reviewed on 9/25/2005 + 40 more book reviews

By the time I was 20 pages in, I was completely hooked -- couldn't put it down for any longer than I absolutely had to. The characters - scots, french, english, all - are vibrant and the world feels quite real. The tone and voice are singular: I cried and frequently laughed out loud. It's hard not to love "Red Jamie" and little Fergus, despite how far removed they are from my reality. It's a good thing I started this friday night and finished it late sunday - I'm not sure I could have gone about my week without having finished!
