About this listen

A.D. 1305, an hour before dawn, London's Smithfield prison: In a dank cell, the outlaw William Wallace waits to be executed at first light. 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. From internationally best-selling author Jack Whyte comes a story of brutal battles and high adventure, of heroism and redemption - the story of William Wallace as the world has never heard it before.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If my friend was interested in the tragic, convoluted history of Scotland and its church, in the 13th century then yes. If they wanted a fast paced, action packed read then probably not.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The most interesting part of the book were the beginning and end. I felt the middle parts in the forest dragged on. I think Jack Whyte's decision to have the story told through the eyes of Jamie Wallace a priest, is flawed he his too far removed from William Wallace's life for a big chunk of the book. I found out more about the medieval church and the rise of capitalism than Braverheatrs life. I thought Ewan Scrimgeur would have been the better narrator as he is with Will during most of the book.

Have you listened to any of Bill Dick’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I've never listened to any of Bill Dick's other books but his reading was brilliant. Each character was a believable individual. I'd definitely look out for his names again.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The events near the end of this books were harrowing.

Any additional comments?

I was annoyed that this 19 hour book only told the story of William Wallace up until he started his war with the English. I was under the impression that it was the whole story. I'm even more annoyed to find out the third book isn't available on Audible.

More Faintheart than Braveheart...

An astonishingly well researched and written account of the early life of Scotland’s greatest hero, William Wallace. Whyte brings the man and his life and love alive through the eyes of his cousin. Father Jane’s Wallace. The narration is superb, so many different voices used to bring the story to startling life. Loved it!

Enthralling

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.
