The Mad Monk of Gidleigh Knights Templar Michael Jecks 9780755301690 Books

I have read numerous books by Jerks, but with this one (I have visited England several times) I could again see in my minds eye the rolling hills, feel the warmish sun and smell the fields when grass was crushed beneath my feet. Thanks for the armchair stroll down memory lane.

The Mad Monk of Gidleigh Knights Templar Michael Jecks 9780755301690 Books Reviews

The author writes very well and knows that period in history. The plot and characters are alive. I'll definitely read his his other novels.
I had never been exposed to Michael Jecks' books until late this summer and became so addicted to his well researched books especially for the quality of writing in

"good English" (not "dummed down English")that I read everything he has written to date up to 2006 (except awaiting his new November 2006 release)in under two months

while still reading academic works. The author has not received the aclaim he deserves to include his superior research.
This book leaves much to be desired. I found myself wondering more than once if it was worth finishing. It was sooo slow. The cover says 'the most wickedly plotted medieval mystery novel". I did not find that to be true. I might try another of his books, but it might be a awhile.
I love the Knights Templar series. The books are full of historical facts and so interesting. I would recommend these book to anyone.
I have read all previous books in this series, and find this to be the least laudable. It is as wordy as Dickens with descriptions of place unnecessarily and inappropriately long. Too much text is spent in ascription of emotions and attitudes to the characters--most of which are either repetitious or irritatingly conventional and perfunctory (or both).
I found the plot too complex for the novel's perameters. Normally, Jecks's establishes and develops several subplots, then ties them all together in a grand climax. This had too many small loose ends which had to be dealt with at the end, producing a leaden climax--so different from his usual neat and powerful conlusions.
I wish to make clear that I like reading Michael Jecks and will continue to read the series. It's just that at times I thought this one might have been written by someone else.

As always I was hard pressed to put my tablet away. Michael Jecks writes a wonderful tale. I am impressed with your research.
I have really enjoyed other books in this series. However, this book took almost half of the content to discover just what was the plot or theme. The multiple knights were difficult to differentiate. Overall I found it disappointing although it had a surprise or two at the very end.
I have read numerous books by Jerks, but with this one (I have visited England several times) I could again see in my minds eye the rolling hills, feel the warmish sun and smell the fields when grass was crushed beneath my feet. Thanks for the armchair stroll down memory lane.
