I was enjoying this, right up until the Big Showdown Moment where Stuff Happens and People Die. And then I was bored to tears. But the denouement was palate cleansing, and saved the book from a one star review. A shame, because I remember really enjoying the first book.

I should not have attempted a book on philosophy whilst suffering a head cold. This is not the fault of the book or its author.

A very readable style, and consequently a very quick read. Excellent introduction to medieval literature, how it developed, and the main different genres.

I listened to the final chapters of this book while doing the grocery shopping and so I got to sob in public. Five stars would sob again.
