Review # 1 was written on 2013-01-20 00:00:00 Christy Kennedy This tale of a young boy growing up in a gritty area of Manchester around 1900 gripped me enormously, but I'm not sure that any actual children would really enjoy it. Unless they're children who relish period domestic drama, and psychological acuity in the portrayals of emotionally abusive fathers and bullies and so forth. I haven't met any children like that, and wasn't one such myself, but none the less, I raced through the story at top speed, winced at the uncomfortable parts, and found the unexpected ending quite satisfying.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-10-22 00:00:00 Gregory Luders Um dos meus escritores da minha adolescência. Cresci sonhando que aparecia um "Ivanhoe" me resgatar dos meus momentos difíceis. Sempre gostei de romances de cavaleria. E este é especial pois me lembra a saga Outlander.Talvez a escritora tenha buscado inspiração nestes romances. Tem lugares e nomes que possui na saga. Foi interessante conhecer mais sobre as clãs escosesas e as suas guerrras. O verdadeiro herói não é Montrose mas sim é o povo. O povo que nunca desiste. E que talvez consiga a sua almejada independência
