A review by canadiyank
The Road to Jerusalem by Jan Guillou

4.0

I first saw this as a miniseries on netflix but netflix removed it before I finished the series (it's now on there as a truncated "movie"). Searching around I found out it was a book, originally written in Swedish, that was translated into English a few years ago (the movie/miniseries is subtitled on netflix, but interestingly, sometimes the characters speak in English, French, Latin, etc. too, besides Swedish...I'm assuming it's Swedish?). I assumed by the title of this book that he would actually make it to Jerusalem, but no, this is just setting the background of how and why Arn becomes a Knight Templar. An epic for sure, and an enjoyable read.
