As for the movie, I just wish the costumes for 13th Warrior had tried to be a bit more authentic, but I did enjoy it despite some glaring anachronisms.

I really enjoyed this book, especially the authentic feel created by its factual background and the travelogue format. The movie was well done, too, and your review of the book prompted me to plop it in the DVD player yesterday for the umpteenth time. Great review, Bill.
