If you had the woman reader, you might want to find book two read by the man reader (obviously I dodn't remember their names). <br /><br />But I admit that one reason I love the books is because I'm attracted to all things medieval.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-48501215178558633142010-08-29T15:24:59.395-04:002010-08-29T15:24:59.395-04:00Ryan - Yeah, so do I.

Maybe when I'm done with my current Agatha Christie self challenge (which is taking longer than I thought it would) I'll move on and give one a try. Thanks for the honest review. I just wish you liked mysteries more.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786139533776263328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-83900673199620175762010-08-27T22:27:44.405-04:002010-08-27T22:27:44.405-04:00Linda - Good to know!

I read all these ...Just going down your blog now:-)<br />I read all these novels aloud with my hubby years ago. They are excellent for discussing with a freind as you go along, debating the clues and the suspects. It is one of those series that just draws you in. The main characters develop and grow relationships and you get to know Brother Cadfael as a wonderful real person and the historical research is excellent, the background political stuff come more into some stories and was very interesting, not a period I knew anything about. They are a bit like CSI for the 12th century. She does have a slight tendency to learn a few new words and over use them (the word 'rime' meaning frost comes to mind, after all this time), but they are nice in that she is not repetitive, not repeating old information all the time but just allows the reader to catch up with the ongoing storyline slowly by disclosure (Harry Potter is very bad for that, telling you stuff over and over in each book, not wanting to assume the reader has read the others, and it is dull for people who have). Anyway, I would definitely say try some more.<br />thanks for sharing<br />martinemartinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260048849955077472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-59465092281833692492010-08-27T06:38:49.567-04:002010-08-27T06:38:49.567-04:00Heather --

But the author Elizabeth Chadwick mentioned on an online forum that book two was her favorite, so I picked it up, read it, enjoyed it, and now I'm ready for book 9. I think the series "grows on you" and I do recommend reading them in order.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15809165184459649536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-52531205212504828862010-08-26T13:02:11.379-04:002010-08-26T13:02:11.379-04:00Ruth - I might check out one show and see what I t...Ruth - I might check out one show and see what I think ...<br /><br />bermudaonion - Actually, each book stands on it's own so I think you'd be just fine giving this one a try!Heather J. @ TLC Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474181812740579350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-42026859406483225472010-08-26T12:50:46.876-04:002010-08-26T12:50:46.876-04:00I do like mysteries, so I might enjoy this more th...I do like mysteries, so I might enjoy this more than you did, but I'm not sure I want to get started on a lengthy series.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-44671043994298980832010-08-26T12:42:28.368-04:002010-08-26T12:42:28.368-04:00I've never read any of the Cadfael books but I...I've never read any of the Cadfael books but I remember really enjoying the TV show...I think it was on Masterpiece Theater ten years ago, something like that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986319237275869540noreply@blogger.com
