The Shining Company

Summary: Book Report
Review: Good books need lots of great reviews to persuade converts. =) I picked this up as Celtic/medieval literature for a college class and wondered whether this "juvenile" book would contain enough depth, but found myself immediately intrigued. Sutcliff's writing is consistently true to the era she portrays, and is often poetic, as well. The characters are refreshingly real; I care more about their development as individuals than how the battles will turn out. So far, I'm totally happy to rate this book 5 stars. I can't wait to finish it!

Summary: Book Report
Review: The Shining Company is for people who like a little bit of guts, blood, and brains here and there.The Shining Company has some Lord of the Rings things; there is a object that the main character is attached to, and there is war. But it's a true event. This book is about the Anglo Saxsons going to war. It's also about how the main character copes with war and travels to war. I loved this book because I love Lord of the Rings and gore.
