[Review] The Saga of Erik the Viking by Terry Jones

I was excited about this one, but I didn't love it. There is a lot of adventure and epic feats of heroism, but there was so much plot and so little character development that the book felt dull and rambling—just one grand event after another. It read like a bunch of bumbling men running around trying to be manly.

If I was a 6 year old boy, maybe. But this one doesn't really transcend the age and gender barrier (and I normally love middle grade books).
