Customer Reviews

Great Historical Fiction and Adventure

Freedom's Cause has a brilliant plot and a fictional character as the protaganist. He starts off as a teen and then grows up through the time of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. The fictional protagonist interacts with historical characters from that period of Scottish History. The story is full of adventure, friendship, loyalty, honor, heroics, and history. Good values are presented. This book is great for anyone looking for something on Scottish history and which also is an outstanding novel. This book is as excellent or better then any Nigel Tranter book I have read, like The Wallace and The Bruce Trilogy. The accuracy of the historical period is superb and I have read much on this area of Scottish history. The persons discussed, the geography talked about, and the timeline presented is very accurate. I highly recommend this and can't wait to read another Henty.

"Unbelievable!"

This book has open my mind to Henty and the Renaissance. Not only does the writer incredibly and accurately describe the scene but also the characters like it is real life! Once picked up, it is impossible to put down. Archie, Wallace, Bruce and all the others take captive your thoughts. This book is highly reccomended because knowing about history accurately is vital. This book does all of that!

A Must Read!

This is a truly inspirational book. I believe this book describes one of the great events in all of human history. For any parent who wants to give their child a view of the world outside their strip-mall laden nieghborhood, they should dedicate themselves to reading this story to them. My youngest is only 7 years old and he loved this book! The only caveat I have is this book, like all Henty books, details many graphic battles. However, the main character demonstrates bravery, leadership, loyalty and ingenuity- traits we'd all love to see built into our kids. I can't recommend this book highly enough.
