Ragnar Lothbrok and a History of the Vikings: Viking Warriors Including Rollo, Norsemen, Norse Mythology, Quests in America, England, France, Scotland, Ireland and Russia

It's a very good book. Gained new knowledge so that's a plus!!

I have been watching 'Vikings' the TV show made for the History channel. This raised several questions about the Vikings. I bought this book to learn more about the history of the Vikings. Noah Brown has done an excellent job of handling the subject matter; He breaks it down by different regions that the Vikings raided. This book is well documented and goes along with a lot of the history I was sure was true. As the Vikings did not write down their adventures, most of what we know about them is from other people's history and Viking mythology.

In the old days I have become more interested in viking history, but had to buy some abroad because they cannot be brought in Sweden. It will be interesting to read about Ragnar Lothbrok. Maybe something is right with the good TV series.

bad riding all over the place

I was very excited about this book. I recently got into Vikings, the TV show, and as usual, I started binge-reading and binge-watching everything Viking-related. I thought this would be a fictional story of Ragnar Lothbrok but it's more a study-paper with no chronological order. I have a ton of respect for the author, who clearly has a big passion for the history of Vikings, but I think his writing style is very amateur-like. To give you an idea, I felt like I was ready someone's homework from History class.
