review 1: Every once in a while a book comes along that doesn't quite fit in a five star rating system. King Raven is one of those.... six stars at least. It is a retelling of an age-old story, but what a retelling. I didn't realize that I was reading a re-imagining of Robin Hood, so I missed the inference to the first character. But at the introduction of characters two and three I could hardly wait to see how he introduced the main protagonist. Not to be disappointed. In addition to the wonderful story telling, the way Mr. Lawhead interpolated ancient namings with current mythology made for exquisite reading.
review 2: This was my first undertaking by Lawhead and I have to admit I was impressed. He kept the story interesting by switching narrators and the language was... more easy and unfettered as he developed the story to its end. I would definitely recommend this as an appropriate book to read in school. The religion in it is not overbearing but appropriate in places. I was happy to see how he developed the tale of Bran and put his own spin on the legends. less
