I had more fun reading these reviews than I did reading the book.
" Earthy " characters ! Please tell me you are joking.

Rated: PG-13 Violence, Some Adult ThemesOne of my favorite books. This is a very Adventurous historical fiction. It's full of clever twists and turns and includes some romance. If you want a book that pulls you through a range of emotions. This is the book to do it. It is one of the few books that I have read more than once. ( )

This is the first book by Patterson that I had ever read and made me want to read more of his writings. I found the story to be predictable but I really enjoyed the story anyway. ( )

Not my usual type of read but with James Patterson and Andrew Gross you have to try. Very surprised to find it an interesting, enjoyable book with all the intrigue, surprises and engrossing reading I have come to expect from these two authors. Very easy to read with short chapters, this book has sparked an interest in the crusades and middle ages which was totally unexpected. What an extraordinary work of fiction. ( )

A wonderful book! A tad predictable in places, but surprising in others. A great concept made for a book that I just couldn't put down! ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0316602051, Hardcover)

Arriving home disillusioned from the Crusades, Hugh discovers that his village has been ransacked and his wife abducted by knights in search of a relic worth more than any throne in Europe. Only by taking on the role of a jester is he able to infiltrate his enemy's castle, where he thinks his wife is captive.

With the unstoppable pace and plot of a page-turning Alex Cross novel, THE JESTER is a breathtakingly romantic, pulse-pounding adventure-one that could only be conjured by the mind of James Patterson. Everyone who has ever hoped for good to defeat evil or for love to conquer all will not be able to stop turning the pages of this masterful novel of virtue, laughter-yes, laughter-and suspense.
