Format:Paperback
Although not historically correct, this book never claimed to be. It may also be a book version of the film script, but if you came to this book from seeing the film, that is what you'd want. I think the other reviewers are being a little too harsh, this may be pulp fiction, but if you are prepared for that, it is a good enough read. It conveys the epic battles of the film and relationships in the film quite well and isn't too bad for a film tie-in novel. There is definitely scope for a decent faction book on William Wallace, but this is an OK read for fans of the film.

Epic story wasted through the author's desire to fantasise.
As someone who is half English and half Scots I feel that, whilst the real story of William Wallace is truly inspiring, this book is a complete travesty with a total disregard for... Read more

Extremely underwhelmed
Any resemblence to history is purely co-incidental. Should be recatagorised as fantasy.
