I think I bought this book because it was cheap on Kindle, and I was mildly curious about the subject. It was a tough read at first; it takes time to become acclimated to the archaic language and style. I can't remember why I stuck with it, but in the end, Harold's story got to me. Wow. WHAT a story! Just like some other reviewers, I became a Harold fan (and frankly, the telling is favorable to him). It's a tragic tale with ironic twists and intrigues, and in this telling there's a little bit of harmless mysticism thrown in. In the end I was blown away by this $3 book. This story would make a fantastic modern film, perhaps including this little bit of mysticism. [Hollywood would have to resist the temptation to have skeletons rise up and go to battle, or to have warriors leaping 30 feet into the air. The story doesn't need it.] The true parts of this story are amazing, and the telling is dramatic. You have to work for it, but for me and others who have stayed with it, it seems to be well worth the effort.

It's fashionable to make fun of Bulwer-Lytton, and indeed hardly anybody writes in anything like his Victorian style, these days. Telling an antique story, he wrote here in a consciously and consistently antique manner, which takes a bit of getting used to. His scholarship isn't of the academic sort, but I tend to see that as an advantage to readability. Until devouring this book, I knew only the faintest outlines of Harold's story, and I was much the poorer for it.

I had no idea what to expect, however the book was well written & had good details from a historical perspective. Before reading this, I had not really known of the story of Harold & Edith. It made me go on a "google frenzy" finding out all I could!

Tragic ending, yet considering the time period, and knowing history... it came as no suprise!

Delightful read... highly recommend this book!

Whitecaster

interesting images and nice transitions. An overall promising and brief book.

Bearus

I think the book was very well written. Most biographys are written promoting the subject as the hero of the piece, using selected source material to back them up. Here the author does neither. Harold is presented in a straight forward manner, and source material is presented that both backs up the English view of a hero as well as the Norman view of a lying oathbreaker. By the end of the book I was pulling for Harold to win!

mIni-Like

Good narrative on the times before the Norman Conquest and the rise and fall of the House of Goodwin and Harold.

Gavirus

Be advised that the language of the book is sort of archaic. I (as a non-native speaker) found it very hard to read.

It is a very long read, but kept my interest all the way thru. It is a story that keeps moving along all the time with never a dull moment. A true page turner. It is one I plan to read again in the future.
