A review by mxbookmoth
The Eagle of the Ninth by Rosemary Sutcliff
2.0
I saw the Film that this Book's based on; The Eagle, years ago & quite liked it. So I then picked up this Book, thinking that I'd like it just as much, if not more, than the Film. But, unfortunately, that really didn't happen!
I first started reading it 2 years ago {Woah!}, but just couldn't get into it. Although it's well researched & written, the story wasn't interesting me, I couldn't connect with the characters & even the description of their surroundings wasn't sparking my imagination.
So I put it down for ages, picking it up again only very briefly afterwards. I recently stubbornly picked it up again, in order to finally finish it off!
Don't get me wrong-There'll be loads of people out there that love this Book {As with most Books really} & it's not a bad Book by any means, it's just really not for me! So I therefore won't be continuing on with this particular series. Which is a shame, as I originally thought I'd be really into it-But hey, you can't win them all!
