The Forest Laird: A Tale of William Wallace by Jack Whyte

4.0

Interesting book! Like many of Jack Whyte's other novels, this was a combination of action-adventure and history. As stated in the "Author's Note," there is not much historical information about William Wallace so much of Wallace's life had to be imagined. Whyte, however, does stick pretty closely to the Scottish history of this time. The one drawback I did find to this rather long novel was the amount of pages devoted to characters discussing the changes in the Scottish economy and culture. There is a fairly large section through the middle of the book where not much happens. Overall, though, the story was interesting.
