The Perfect Heresy : The Revolutionary Life and Death of the Medieval Cathars by Stephen O'Shea

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book contains the notes, selected biography and index that reflect the amount of scholarship that went into the writing of this book. The narrative is compelling enough to read all of the book. If you are only interested in why Languedoc-Rossillon tourisme says, Bienvenue en Pays Cathare, then reading the introduction and epilogue may be sufficient to separate history from souvenir-vendor hype.

For Richer, For Danger by Lisa Bork

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I recommend it only to fans of the series. I was a bit frustrated with the heroine worry-warting about her husband, her sister, and her friend Corey instead of just talking to them directly for I am more interested in the mystery than I am about the relationships. Of course, another reader may prefer the emotional drama.

Languedoc-Roussillon by Lonely Planet Publications

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


It was enjoyable as armchair-travel reading. It was excellent for planning. It is worth the fifth star for it is the guidebook I shall carry with me on my travels in this region. It mentions the city sites as do other guides; and what makes it special to me is the mention of the wild areas and the outdoor, adventurous activities such as hiking, bicycle riding, wind-surfing, canoeing and more.
