absolutely horrible for me, terrible to read and dull.
but better than my worst book ever so there is something worth ur time if u are capable of reading it. if writing is not dull for u i think u might enjoy it but otherwise stay away

I feel like this series is going to get better later, not the best start, not the worst.

Didn't particularly enjoy it. Too fragmentary, too silly and childish. I read that much like Harry Potter, it gets more serious as it goes on. I don't know if I have the patience to read the next one, but maybe I'll try.

Parts of it were kinda crazy, and pretty funny but overall I really liked it. Even though I keep trying to compare it to Disney's version, which is similar but not quite the story XD

Audiobook: 9h.45m.
I was first exposed to the world of Camelot through the 1963 Walt Disney animated film, The Sword in the Stone. Disney's adaptation of the Arthurian Legend relies heavily on White's novelization, and in reading this book for the first time, I was surprised by how faithfully the movie reflects the tone of the written word. This book is a charming and playful romp, exploring time and history through the lens of wonder. It's certainly a boy-oriented book but I believe it could be enjoyed by any child (or childlike imagination) that gives it the time to breathe.
The Sword in the Stone is an interesting patchwork of natural science, nods to traditional Christian dogma, and adventures that take place in stereotypical fantasy (with a great amount of time spent talking with animals). I was delighted to discover a literary crossover plotline involving Robin Hood, of which I will say no more. This is a simple book, and the few passages that use antiquated language shouldn't hinder comprehension for modern readers. Certainly a story worth reading.
