A review by megancortez
Ivanhoe by Walter Scott
5.0
The words of praise I could string together regarding this immensely entertaining and provocative tale of romance, adventure, politics, and all other things chivalry may offer, pales frightfully in comparison to the writings themselves. This was a real emotional rollercoaster and I am honestly quite glad that I had the chance to read it.
I can understand why some might find this boring or too long winded, but if the 19th century writing style is your cup of tea (as it is mine) and you enjoy tales of swashbuckling or morally interesting characters, then this is the book for you!
**There are references to (but no occurrences of) sexual assault.
Pro tip: read it in chunks like a periodical. The suspense enhances the enjoyment, and the older style of writing is easier digested in smaller sets.
