<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Theodosius, post: 2875745, member: 77077&quot;]This book is fiction but it is based on many actual events and is very period correct. It is the most popular book in Sweden. </p><p><br /></p><p>It takes a while to get used to the vikings attitude that they would rather die in battle quickly than die slowly from illness &quot;like a cow in the grass&quot;.&nbsp; When you think that life expectancy in the 10th century was 35, you can understand them and their sense of humor better. For example, the main character describes the best wedding in 10 years.&nbsp; The bride and groom got in an argument and the bride hit the groom over the head with a torch settimg fire to his head and causing a brawl to break out among the guests. In the confusion the church burned to the ground and six guests died but the bride and groom made up so everyone agreed it was an excellent wedding.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once you get used to this way of thinking the book is actually very funny. </p><p><br /></p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
