Robert the Bruce: King of Scots

Very interesting historical read. Glad I bought it.

Not knowing a great deal about Robert the Bruce, and a little put off by the cover (yes, I know), I decided to take a chance on this one. How glad I am that I did. Here’s a man, with his faithful followers, who lived life truly on the edge but whose bravery and commitment to Scotland were never in doubt. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about his many hair-raising escapades but also about the heart-warming and honorable way he conducted himself.

Ronald McNair Scott's "Robert the Bruce: King of Scots" is one of the best books I have read in a long while. The story of the life of Robert the Bruce is already well-known to me; it is the author's ability to weave the various story-lines together and keep me riveted on what was going to happen next that I found outstanding. This is a very well written biography that reads tremendously fast. If you're not familiar with the life of Robert the Bruce and were to read this book as a piece of fiction, you'd finish thinking that there's no possible way that the events that take place in Bruce's lifetime life actually took place. It becomes obvious why the Scottish highly revere this man.

Really enjoyed this book. Exciting from start to finish. Read like an adventure. Much respect to the Scottish people.

I love this book. It's not just a biography. It's the story of the making of a kingdom out Edward I's attempt to turn Scotland into just one more province belonging to the English Crown. The genius, wit, intellect, and great beating heart of Robert, Lord of Annandale, Earl of Carrick, King of Scots comes leaping off of the page. A must read for anyone with a drop of Scottish blood.

The book was well sourced and researched, and was well laid out. It was a detailed and fairly interesting account of Robert’s life. It was a bit dry at times, and lacking a bit in narrative personality, but overall was a decent read.

Excellent book. Well written and precise yet not hard to read. Informative and factual yet not written like a textbook. Worth the time reading it.
