[.ca] Men of Iron (ISBN 0765353482)



absolutely entertaining and factual:
A wonderful book for young adults and adults who love tales of knights & armour. Howard Pyle's descriptions are both factual and highly entertaining, and a wonderful description of castle life in the early Middle Ages. After 30-plus years,I still re-read the copy I have!!!!!


Men of Iron:
This book was so good, when I just saw the cover, it caught my attention. It had a lot of color and I knew it would have a lot of action in it. This book is called Men of Iron. The author is Howard Pyle. This book is historical fiction. It was about a boy named Myles Falworth.He was brave and strong. He also had a lot of courage. This man believes in himself know matter what. Myles earns a reputation because hae proves himself brave. He never gives up. At the end he wins the war. I didn't like the part he got stabbed because if that happened to me I would feel bad. It would hurt me and I wouldn't like it. I liked the part where he proves himself brave because before he got into the war he had to fight the captain to prove himself brave. I loved this book because it had a lot of adventure in it and I like adventure books. I would recommend this book to everybody because it helps you be focused on the book. It makes you want to read more and more.


Men of Iron The making of a young man to a knight:
This was a time whena young man who had to be carefully taken in the steps of knightlyhood. With the days going by, he had o fight his father's foe. I would recommend this book to a friend of mine who would like to read classsic books, and hopefully he/she would find this book enjoying. I wouldn't say the boook was totally boring, however, it could have been a bit more exciting. It always counts to the persons' opinon.


Has been a classic for many years:
Myles was only eight when a knight in black armor rode into his father's castle with murder in mind: it was an event which would change his life, bring disgrace to his family, and foster his own training for knighthood so that he might challenge the king's own champion. This story of 15th century England has been a classic for many years and the Dover edition appears unabridged, republishing a Harper 1892 classic.


Book review:
Book Report " Men of Iron" is a story of Myles Falworth who went on a quest of training for knighthood. Once a knight, he must win back his father life and honor. The book has no weakness, for it was very well written and told. Although some people might have think the dialogue a turn off. The dialogue was written in old English. It was difficult to understand at first, but after a while you tend to pick up the language. Nevertheless, the old English conversation is an essential part of the book, for the story took place in the fifteenth-century. The book has many strengths. One strength is that the author did a good job of creating the medieval age atmosphere through extremely descriptive details. Another strength is the story itself. The story is very interesting and exciting. Myle's first joust ever was exciting, but the last battle is the book most exciting chapter. The author did a good job of building the tension and the stake, that when the last battle was over, I was satisfied with the ending. I recommend this book to all young adult and teens, because it has great themes such as courage, loyalty, steadfastness, and generosity. The book is exciting and inspiring; in the end, you would feel satisfy and want for more, but don't take my words for it, find out for yourself.
