Narrative Concering Books Kruistocht in spijkerbroek
De zestienjarige Dolf uit Amstelveen geeft zich op als proefkonijn: hij zal door een materie-transmitter teruggeflitst worden naar de Middeleeuwen om daar één middag een kijkje te nemen. Maar door een foute berekening komt hij in het jaar 1212 terecht in een Kinderkruistocht die net uit Keulen is vertrokken en niet op het riddertoernooi in Montgivray in Midden-Frankrijk dat hij zo graag wilde bijwonen. Verbijsterd ziet hij duizenden gelovige - en vooral goedgelovige - kinderen, aan wie wonderen zijn beloofd, zingend aan hem voorbijtrekken. Zij zijn van plan met hun blote handen het Heilige Land van de Saracenen te bevrijden. Om vijf uur diezelfde middag moet Dolf weer op de afgesproken plek staan om teruggeflitst te worden naar de twintigste eeuw tenminste, als er niets fout gaat...

This ended up being a very satisfying read. Im sure if Id read this at age 10, it would have been a 5 star book for me. I would have particularly enjoyed the episodic adventures of Dolf and the children when I was that age.I very quickly had to suspend my adult sensibilities major disbelief and try to put myself back to my 9 or 10 or 11 year old self, eager for a fantasy novel. Im not talking about the time travel aspect, but there is no way that scientists, let alone a father, would let happenMaybe it was the fact that it was written back in 1973, but I found this story a bit hard to believe. Now I know that it's not a true story, however there were too many instances where I felt the reader needed to stretch their imagination in order to accept it.(view spoiler)[ Firstly, the whole time travel scenario; if a 15-year-old boy said that they would be willing to go off in a time machine that has never been tested on humans, I doubt that any scientist would agree to it, no matter how
I have read this book at least 4 times in my live and still love it. One of the best time travel books i know of. Big fan of Thea Beckman.
One of my favorite YA novels. I first read it when I was about twelve years old and it totally hooked me. It was my comfort book throughout my teen years, one that I'd pick up and re-read every so often. Even as an adult (I'm 24 now), it holds up. Great book.
I was so taken by this book when I read this as a child. Saw myself going back in time to join the crusade! One of my best reads when I was a kid, so impressed by this story...
(Probably read it with the Children's Books group.) I remember liking it more than I thought I would. I also thought of it as more HF than SF. Reminded of it today because a member of the SFF group says it's the book that got them started on SF... which I find intriguing.
3 starsNicely read by Menno (4 stars). This was a book of opposites. Sometimes it was a bit childish, but other passages/details were very (too?) macabre. The story has its engrossing moments but on the other hand it often loses its pace, which made me hard to focus. All in all I'm glad I read it but I'm not as raving as most reviewers.
