Dear Mr. Cornwell, I just finished listening to “The Last Kingdom” on CD. I’m writing to tell you how much I enjoyed it. It was read by Tom Sellwood who speaks like a cocky, arrogant boy or young man – perfect! The story was suspenseful. To the end, I couldn’t tell which way Uhtred which go – English or Dane. The character of Ravnor (I may be misspelling it) was so appealing, as was Uhtred. I like books where the writing is wonderful, aside from the story, and for me it was. I happen to like fantasy books and historical novels, such as yours. I’m off for two weeks vacation, but when I return I want to read the next in the series. Please keep writing. Thanks. Joel ps: I’m 66, a biology professor in Boston, paint, play guitar, and move cows every summer on a ranch in Wyoming – in case you wondered.
