Amir from Madrid, Espanha –
Os livros foram uma boa adição para entender melhor a história. Informações úteis, mas achei algumas partes longas demais.
Dmitri from Chicago, USA –
The books were interesting but pretty long. I liked the history, but sometimes it dragged a bit. They give more depth to the movie’s story though.
Giorgos from Athens, Greece (verified owner) –
The books gave good details about the characters. They explain their loyalty well and fill in story gaps from the film. It’s worth getting for any fan of historical dramas.
