Epic Type Adventure

This book was not a disappointment. It was actually three book series set up under one complete book for kindle. It was written well & kept me interested from the begining to the end. I was however, a little disappointed with the ending. I wish we would have had a little more closure of Olaf's later years. The book took us on a journey of heart ache and happiness. It was a good interesting read about power, greed, a soldier's honour, and above all, Love. I would say that over all this was a good book!

Wanderer's Necklace Review

I thought this free book was going to be a dud. Boy was I wrong. Olaf the main character really has some extraordinary adventures. It was rather amusing to read the insults levied at the Greeks, Muslims, black women with greasy hair, and a few others. However the best one occurred toward the end when the Muslim Arab pointed out if he would follow their faith he could marry both girls. Is that how Muslim men think???? (Must be fiction) Anyway I could not put the book down until I finished it. I highly reccomend this book for a Kindle download.

A sense of duty you won't find anymore...

A very, very old-fashioned adventure tale. It reads somewhat like a Shakespearean story -- not a play -- with clearly drawn good and evil, some improbable plot twists, and epic battles. It is the sweeping integrity of the hero that is so compelling. He never wavers, and truly good people are drawn to him, while "bad" people hate and fear him. You really won't see a protagonist like this anymore. He values duty above all else, without sacrificing himself.

Adventurous & Entertaining!

This is one of the greatest books that I've read in a long time. I was in search of finding something to read that would entertain and inspire me. The Wanderer's Necklace has definitely done that! Every chapter brought forth a new array of events that captivated my mind weaving heartfelt imaginations. The writer takes readers on the journey with the Wanderer and captures their attention until the finish of the book. I returned to the contents of the book eagerly until I was finished reading it every day since I got it. This is something that I have not done in a long time. I recommend this book to anyone who likes fiction that takes you on an adventure and dares to explore the depths of things that you've never known before.
