Very uneven. The stories within the story, tales told around the fire or memories of earlier times, were the best part. Didn't like the overall story much, unnecessarily gory for a Robin Hood tale. ( )

I have met the author at a comic book shop here in Cincinnati and enjoyed talking to him. Didn't know at the time he was a writer. We got to talking and the store owner mentioned that he had Mr.Emery's book for sale if I was interested. I figured that if he could write as well as he talked then I would give it a try. I glad I did. I have enjoyed his retelling of the Robin Hood tale everytime I have read it. And as icing on the cake that day Mr. Emery signed my book. ( )
