Concise Book

Indeed, concise. And that's exactly what I was looking for. I like history and mythology, and I am always looking for lectures or podcasts for their brevity. I've never thought that I would find it in a book. Chapeau!!!

I really enjoyed this book

I really enjoyed reading the book. The style was straightforward and easy to understand. I recommend thi book

Great Search

Great information. I am learning more about the Vikings than that they were just fearless fighters.

The Best

I want to begin by saying that this is a very good book. The author provides a small library of sources/continued reading and to say this is an information dense book is to vastly understate the matter.

Good One

If you are not familiar with northern European Languages Old Norse place names can be a little tough, but it's an easy in from a great author who knows her subject.

Interesting but repetitive

Definitely learned some new info but a lot of this book is very repetitive. There are several parts of the story that are repeated numerous times for no apparent reason. The person reading in the first half also sounds very robotic. Given these reasons, it was tough to stay interested but I eventually made it through to the end.

This is what i needed

I just want to say, if you're genuinely interested in Scandinavian history, I can hardly think of a better book for jumping in.

Concise and Compiling

I enjoyed learning about the Viking civilization from a master historian. I appreciate this effort and would like to recommend it.

Awesome Information

Full of history that satisfies all what I was looking for. This book was recommended to me and said if I really wanted to know the history of the Vikings Gwyn Jones was what I was looking for. Great book.

Awesome

Meets my expectations of an interesting and well-researched yet readable book. I recommend this to all hitory buffs.
