Customer Reviews

A great read, and very informative about the American Rev.

Michael Fallon, in the Fallon Blood, is one of the most interesting and believable characters I have found. This book covers his trials and his successes over an extended period of time that covers the American Revolution. I found the book to be very exciting and dramatic, while at the same time historically accurate and educational. I would reccomend this book to anyone. A very enjoyable read. What is Robert Jordan's real name??

For Fantasy or Non-Fantasy Fans

After reading the Wheel of Time Series, I started to think that Robert Jordan was one of my favorite authors, but I thought I should take a look at some of his other works. So far Fallon Blood is the only other book I got to, but after I read it I have decided that Robert Jordan is my favorite author...or whatever his real name is (it's not Robert Jordan). I didn't finish the book, but that was because I moved and had to return it to the place I was borrowing from. Otherwise I wouldn't have put it down. His villians are truly evil and the hero very impressive. The book is more about family fued than war, but for the war fanatics, there's definately plenty of it. As much as I know of history, it's accurate but there are still plenty of fine details that only a scholar would know presented in this book. And for those of you who like WoT, there are some similarities in his writing. The woman are all still very strong characters, and the hotels are an awful lot like the ones in the fantasy series, plus there is a lot to do with travel. I would recomend this book to anyone. (As long as they are teen and older).

A must read for any reader, especially a Jordan fan

What more can I sa

An excellent read!!! I couldn't put it down =)!

A story about love, lust, courage and the price of it all.This is the first book I read by Robert Jordan and I absolutely loved it. The characters seem to come alive as vivid people and I found myself loving and hating them. The story is also comical at times and I couldn't suppress my laughter. The plot was great even though the ending could have been better but it was nevertheless, surprising. This book is educational yet entertaining and it's fun to see how the characters and the plot develop over time.After reading some of the other reviews saying that this book was somewhat of a dissapointment, I can't wait to read the other books by this author. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to get away from it all.

Three Cheers!

Finally, a Revolutionary War novel that ISN'T about Boston! This book in undoubtedly on a par with Robert Jordan's acclaimed Wheel of Time series, simpler because of its shorter length, but not lacking in the depth of character that makes Jordan one of the best-loved authors of the decade. The Fallon Blood is the story of a man who flees to America with nothing, wanting only the chance to start over. What he finds, in love, in war, in money, was nothing he'd ever have expected. You will weep and cheer with Michael Fallon, know the courage and love of Gabrielle Fourrier, and watch the United States in its beginning. In short, Robert Jordan will carry you away to Charleston and never bring you home again.
