This book delivers what it promises. And nothing more. But that's not a negative. The book gives a nice list of fortresses and castles in the area. There are good pictures, drawings and maps. The history part is ok, but that's not why we buy this book.
It gave me what I came for.

I took a chance on this book, not knowing how serious and researched it would be. But I liked the subject, and thought I'd give it a go. I wasn't disappointed!

I bought this book a year ago, and read it in no time. It was exciting and the finds were just what you were hoping for.
So is it trustworthy, or is the author going along with the spirit of the time, and making some great "finds"? I have to say that the pictures and statements from witnesses are impressive. What puzzles me is that this "Blue-collar-guy" is so smart that he cracks all these codes, some of which are far fetched. Lots of people have tried, and this guy who has no knowledge suddenly solves it all. And on top of that he actually prefers english "cooking" to french!!
The book is too good to pass up. So go buy it. But be restrictive in what you believe!
