Summary: Ferguson's Malory
Review: Having seen Ferguson's Malory, her artwork is the distinguishing factor of this edition of Le Morte D'Arthur. The watercolors are beautiful and bring the work to life, helping the reader access what can sometimes be a difficult text. It really is a beautiful book and I highly recommend this edition of Malory.

Summary: Fie on thee that readeth not these tales!
Review: I don't read a lot. In fact, the only time I do read is when I am required to do so by a class. Such is the case with The Tales of King Arthur. But although I would never have read the book were it not for my fascinating English teacher, I must say that I have never read anything as intriguing as the Tales of King Arthur.Getting used to the language isn't as difficult as some other reviewers are saying... At least it wasn't for me (and I'm an eighteen year-old high school student). You'll struggle through the first few pages but once you've got an ear for it the language comes natural (somewhat like reading Shakespeare - it takes time to adjust). I found nothing tedious about the book other than the somewhat unfocussed book of the Sangrail. The characters are awesome, the language is awesome, the plots and emotions are awesome. If you read this from beginning to end you'll walk away with a sincere compassion for the characters and the inevitable death of the times. I can't imagine bothering with a modernized version - the classic text is just so sweet.

Summary: A bit thick
Review: This book is, good, on the whole, but it's not very engaging. In order to translate the sentences into understandable english, you have to constantly flip back and forth to the notes in the front or many words will make no sense to you. get a different version, I pray you.

Summary: These guys make the Hell's Angels look respectable
Review: Fascinating book. Pre-Christian gang of thugs rapes, robs, pillages, murders, and kidnaps each other's wives. These guys make the Hell's Angels look like charter members of the National Organization for Women. These guys must be Bill Clinton's role models.

Summary: AN EPIC TALE READ IN ITS' TRUE FORM
Review: This review applies to the abridged audiocassette version. I have not read the book, but I will, after hearing this wonderful reading by Derek Jacobi. His immaculate British accent truly brings to life this epic tale of King Arthur and his knights' adventures. I highly recommend this version and also: 'Excalibur' the movie, T. H. Whites' 'The Once and Future King', and also Carl Orffs' 'Carmina Burana - Empress of the World' - music which was featured in 'Excalibur'. These four put together can give you a truly grand starting experience of the Arthurian Legends.

Summary: Incredible book
Review: This is the first book about the King Arthur and his knights written in English with the complete set of knights. The story of Sir Tristram, perhaps the greatest Arthurian legend, is usually neglected in other renditions of the stories. Without it, you lose the comic Sir Dinadan, the knight with common sense who realizes the foolishness of two knights fighting thirty. You lose Sir Palomides, the knight torn between jealousy for Tristram and his friendship with him. No reader of King Arthur should skip this book.

Summary: good, if your studying the subject
Review: yes, this was good, but very dry and wordy. If you wanted to understand it better, you might want to look up on the language of the day. the thing I didn't understand was Arthur being an emporer of Rome. how the heck did that happen? This book, I think, is better used as a learning tool than "light reading":)

Summary: A necessity for any study of Arthur.
Review: This version of Malory's classic saga of love, honor, chivalry, and betrayal is the definitive version of the story. Its language is an excellent balance of modern and archaic English, resulting in an authentic, yet highly readable tale. Along with Geoffrey of Monmouth's "Historia Regum Britanniae" and the French "Prose Launcelot"(often referred to by Malory), this book is an absolute necessity for an enjoyable, informed study of the Arthurian legend.
Rating:
Summary: A great book
Review: I just finished this book. My teacher assigned it to my class to read. I wasn't really interested in the Knights of the Round Table or King Arthur but after reading this, I have become encredibly fascinated by them. This is a great start into the world of King Arthur and his knight. A great book.
