I was very impressed with this book; it is very thought provoking -- lots of closely argued ideas, usually backed up with evidence. Migration minimalists won't like it however. Nor will 'died in the wool' Arthurians. I can't remember his arguments regarding Saxons on the wall in detail at the moment, but with Halsall you can be sure that he will have explained why he makes the suggestion.
