Wow amazing book. Before this book I did not know anything about king author or the round table. This book is educational yet very entertaining, read it !!!!!
Read this simply because I love Meg Cabot. I still liked t, it just wasn't her best.
Re-read this for the second time few days back and sad to say, I don't love it as much as I did before, which I'm attributing to age. I first read this when I was 13 or 14, I think -- when I still believed in things like rainbows, unicorns and love at first sight. Now 20, I'm much more cynical and noticed many flaws about the story that I didn't before.
I love the Authurian aspect of the book (still do, such a fresh idea in a novel aimed at teens), did not see the twist with Elaine's identity coming and it was really interesting seeing which character was which historical figure. Hence, not much problem with this storyline in the book.
However, Elaine proclaims/admits (to us readers) that she is in love with Will way too quickly before she even talked to him that much or truly knew him and his background. She also harps on how plain / tomboyish / unsuited for Will way too much for my liking. In the past, I might have fawned over the unlikely couple but now I find them too cheesy and unrealistic for my liking.
An entertaining read regardless, though I do miss the charm of childhood and first/young love. First reading: 4 or maybe even 4.5 stars, second reading: 3 to 3.5 stars.

I really liked this book and all the parallels with King Arthur's story. I love how each character was matched with one from that time period. This book was full of adventure and fun and a really great read.
Somewhere between 3 to 3.5 stars. Picked this book up because I pulled "read a book that's a movie" from my tbr jar and because it's been sitting on my bookshelf forever.
It was alright, I liked the backstory more with the Arthurian clues that were laid about but I liked how other things happened in the movie. If I could mesh the two together then I truly believe this would have been 5 star read.
Going to watch the movie again later to really compare.

The beginning of this was really slow and then when it hit the peak it went really fast. I think it was a good representation of Arthurian history but my only exposure is from watching Excalibur when I was in high school, and Disney Sword in the Stone.
Everything was beautifully reincarnated .It should have been a series
