I pretty much hated this book. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Not as good as some of his other works. His ideas are original for his time, but lose their luster these days, I guess, and his writing just doesn't cover up for that.

The descriptions are so well-written that all the imagery of the caves made me feel claustrophobic! Fabulous plot, wonderful characters, rather predictable but quite good. Loved it!

Just re-read it, and .... meh, it was good. Not somehow as exciting and dramatic as I remember. Maybe it's the stiff writing style of the times. Loved it though, of course. Still a fantastic book!

Very good and entertaining. Informative of the history of the time and inspiring as well.

I remain unimpressed with the entire Once and Future King series. I love Arthurian legends, but I just can't stomach all the stupid philosophy and the ramblings about nothing. If only White would just tell a story! But no, he has to go off on these rabbit trails of stupidity.

I wouldn't mind so much, if only his philosophy made any kind of sense! There's no logic or common sense to it at all! It's like White just strung a bunch of words together and called it a belief system. Don't try to tell me that children are wiser than adults. Have you ever actually met a child? Don't write on and on about fascism and communism and socialism and capitalism, as if any of those things had any bearing on Arthur and his story, and then try to tell me that if ants were the perfect communists there wouldn't be any wars.

The only part of this entire book that I like is the part with the geese. I think that is the only part that Arthur liked too. Poor old Arthur, they make him sit through those interminable speeches of Merlyn's, and none of it makes any kind of sense to anyone.

I'm so glad to be done with this stupid series. I only forced myself to read through it all, because it's such an iconic retelling of the Arthurian legend.
