review 1: La mayoría de las veces le doy buenas clasificaciones a los libros que leo, el sólo hecho de escribirlos tiene su mérito, pero éste, es de los que entraría en mi categoría de favoritos, al menos para mí es uno de los mejores de Louis aunque la mayoría no piense igual, posee una trama que captó mi atención en todos los sentidos, me fascinó en sobremanera y me parece un trabajo excelente, además utilizó detalles históricos que le dieron cierta gracia y atracción (*Spolier: como el encuentro con Miguel de Cervantes).
review 2: There are Catholic books, and then there are books with Catholic themes. Taking a mediocre plot-development, largely uninteresting characters, and a lack of substantial suspense, and then slapping a few Catholic trappings on ... moreit and being sure to have several of the main characters show up on time to Mass does not make a book a Catholic book; it only makes it a mediocre book with Catholic themes.Adding to the negatives, the book is highly unoriginal. It is almost completely reliant on Chesterton's poem "Lepanto," down to its passing appearance of Cervantes after a brief scene depicting the Pope having his vision of the victory of the Holy League; even the name is a barely-tweeked rendering of Chesterton's description "The last knight of Europe takes weapons from the wall" (Lepanto, 18).Overall, a weak book with very little lasting literary value. The reader would be much better off reading Chesterton's much more concise and memorable "Lepanto." less
