He is visited by a Scottish priest who has come to hear his last confession - the confession of a life even more exciting, violent and astonishing than the legend that survived.

A surprising jewel in the crown
I wasn't sure why this title caught my attention but I always enjoy historical titles. The book tells the story of William Wallace's life , from his childhood, to his inevitable entry into the war with the English Monarchy and throws a different light onto many facets of the story we all think we know.
Whilst the content of the book is excellent it can sometimes get a bit difficult to remember the names of all of the scottish lords that are referred to. That said, it is still easy to follow the plot and the main characters surrounding Wallace are vivid, facinating and believable.
For me though, the highlight of the book was the narrator. After after a vey short space of time you knew who was talking to whom simply by recognising the voices of the individual charachters. I was amazed at the array of accents used in the book which undoubtedly brought it to life.
The story line may not jump out at you from the cover but anyone with the slightest lean towards historical fiction will, I think, enjoy this title. Go on, give it a try, you may learn something. I know I did.
Slow going
Was expecting something along the lines of Bravehart but found it to be nothing like it whatsoever. I found the story to have to much politics and could do with more pace. Will I read the next instalment? not sure. Maybe.

Freedom has a price and William Wallace paid that price this has to be the best book I have ever heard. From the start to the end it was so alive and the narrator he is a star.
A test of persiverance
What did you like best about this story?
The book has all the making of of a classic history. However I gave up on it. It seemed to drag on and not have a good pace to keep me listening. the subject was great and the take fine. the narrator enjoyablish. Did not like the voice of William though.I agree with most of the other reviews but I could not stick with it. So after about 6 hours I threw in the towel.
Good STORY, not real, but interesting take...
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Sure as long as they enjoy a good story of a legend. One of the things that happens is we all get bias for certain people in history. We hear generally from the side of the victors in history and if that person isn't form their side, a lot of negative and monsterization can happen to that person through out time. Will Wallace is one of those historical characters, that is not always shown in a favourable light, unless you are Scottish (or a fan of Braveheart). So this was an interesting take on the Wallace before the legend. -- But note this is a STORY, it is made up.
