Rating: Summary: One of the best books I've ever read! Review: This book did a great job the way they mixed past and present and the future. I also recommend reading the sequel of this book The Broken Sword. They were both the best books I've read in my life!

Rating: Summary: For you, my king. Review: This book made me smile. I just finished it a few minutes ago for the first time, but not the last. It was wonderful. Read it. You'll love it.
Rating: Summary: Wow Review: This book rules, I read the entire 400+ page book in one day. I want more.
Rating: Summary: A neat little job ! Review: This book was a neat little job, and considered one of my favourites. The melding of fantasy and fact, past and present, is quite adept...with just a touch of spiritualism for those who like to contemplate further than what appears right before their eyes.It reminded me of The Talisman, yet the Arthurian theme here carries a noble energy to the plot that had me wanting to raise a sword with the Knights of the Round Table. relax for a few days at home with this one, when you just want to take a load off...
Rating: Summary: Forverrrr Kingicus Review: This book was an outrage! The letters were angry at me.....I tried to read them, but the people in my head wouldnt let me conentrate. I was so angry......I yelled at the voices once I got the chance. DARN THOSE VOICES. They wont stop talking to me! If they tell me one more water scuba diving story about the fish people, I will be extremely angry with the little munchkins. The VOICES THE VOICES THE VOICES THE VOICES THE VOICES! The angry voices. The world whe it ended two weeks ago, we happened to see the lights.....red blue green purple......Nobody knows how many people Ive seen since the end of the water.....nobody swims anymore.
Rating: Summary: One of the Greatest Books Ever Review: This book was awesome! I bought it on a trip to Boston this past year when I was in a bookstore. I started reading it because I was bored on the flight back, Once I started the trip flew by, and when I got home I continued reading on into the night. I finished it and in the morning I went out as soon as the stores opened and bought the Broken Sword and World Without End..Both of them did not disapoint...I haven't been too big on the Aurthorian novels in the past but this book got me into them. The storyline, characters, setting, everything was great and very well done. All the stuff about Saladin was very cool, and the authors really took some time into thinking him up and developing the character...I'd have to say that the best part in the book is when all the nights of the round table showed up...Can't say more than that for fear of revealing stuff...I'd say to anyone that they should buy this book, it fresh and very original...it, the Broken Sword, and the books that will follow are definately one of a kind!
Rating: Summary: Slick, Entertaining Fluff for King Arthur Fans Review: This is a genuine page-turner: a great book for a long plane ride or rainy weekend. Cochran and Murphy are experienced pros, and it shows in this book--both for better and for worse. FOR BETTER: The thriller and King Arthur plots are tidily interwoven, and the plot machinery nearly always runs smoothly. The historical sections get the details right, and all the characters speak like real human beings. Saladin is a first-rate villain, drawn with real style. The authors' riffs on the standard elements of the Arthurian legends are great fun, and their handling of the tragic undercurrents are often powerful and moving. FOR WORSE: Aside from Saladin, the characters seem flat and recycled. Do we really need yet *another* burned-out law enforcement agent, emotionally repressed woman scholar, crotchety old wizard, or preteen boy who's really Something More? Too many elements of the thriller plot also seem recycled, though the authors do them crisply and vigorously. _The Forever King_ doesn't quite belong on the same bookshelf with Mary Stewart or T. H. White, but it's excellent value for your entertainment dollar.
Rating: Summary: Awsome Review: This is a hell of a book, I couldn't put it down, the way Molly Chocrane & Warren Murphy weave the Aurthurian legend from the past & to the now is brilliant, Memerable characters, I especially like the way they give you a run down on Saladine & why he is so important to the story, I highly recomend it
Rating: Summary: Clever, creative, and entertaining Review: This is one of those books I wasn't sure I'd like, but I stole it from my aunt anyway, since I found I couldn't stop reading it. It managed to weave past and present together with a little bit of immortality, reincarnation, and destiny. I've read a few tales of King Arthur, loving some and hating others, but this was unlike any I'd read before. I was afraid that it would be full of Christian propaganda and chauvanistic allusions, but instead found adventure and mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed the rampant character flaws, because perfect characters are annoying anyway and the mixture of honor and chivalry of the typical King Arthur tale and the confusion and hopelessness of modern day blended very well. My favorite character was the villain, but modern Galahad was a close second. Altogether, it was a wonderful book that I'd reccommend to fans of Arthurian lengend and of hard core action.
