If you have a birdcage, perhaps you need some paper lining to help catch the turds and bits of discarded food. If so, then this is the book for that because that's where you'll get the most value.
I admit that I was suckered into purchasing this book some time ago because of my interest in Anglo-Saxon England. Now, I understand it was a brutal period and writing a rather unsympathetic protagonist from this era would be expected. That's not it, though. The lead character isn't just a genocidal maniac. Quite outside of that, he's apparently the world's first member of the Nazi Party. Heavily leaning on using Nazi and fascist imagery, The author does everything apart from just having the characters rant about their struggle with syphilis in a poorly written tract. You might as well substitute the word "Briton" for "Jew" or "Black" and you could almost forget the setting is early Medieval Britain and is instead 20th century Birmingham shortly after Enoch Powell has given a speech. Even still, the most disgusting thing about it is that we are meant to identify and support these people and not view them with open contempt.
This book reads like it was written by a fourteen year old neo-Nazi who is just getting his feet wet on the Daily Stormer message board, with author tracts abounding about how bad immigration is and why he's mad about British people actually considering themselves "British" and not "Anglo-Saxon".
Never buy this book. Don't accept it as a present. Don't even wipe your ass with it after you've taken a dump. It's not worth the excrement.
