Kenneth Roberts recently made a summer reading list! Oliver Wiswell was the book of choice by USA Conservative News. Here’s the opening line when Roberts was mentioned:
The best historical novels ever written about the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 are by Kenneth Roberts, a very popular author 70 years ago that most people today have never heard of.
This statement, in my opinion, is true on several levels, unfortunately so in regards to the last part “…that most people today have never heard of.”
“One Eternal Day” also suggested Oliver Wiswell for summer reading. Jim Skaggs, the blog author, also suggests Rabble in Arms, The Lively Lady, and Captain Caution. I like what he says about the quality of Roberts’ work: he makes John Jakes’ work look like “pulp fiction.” It’s great to see that there are others who appreciate Roberts’ work.
Arundel made it on the reading list at the Hackley Public Library. A rather trite review of the book, but I think it’s because the author didn’t like it too much; they only gave Arundel a 5. Oh well, not all are fans!
