Le Morte d'Arthur: King Arthur and the Legends of the Round Table by Thomas Malory

4.0

It took me almost four months to read this book. That was only because of all of the reading that I had to do inbetween for classes and it was put off even though inside I was dying to read this book. I'm glad that I finally did! In college I read the chapter Le Morte d'Arthur in my Early British Lit class and I loved it. For years I had wanted to read the entire story and now I have. It was a wonderful read. I knew a lot about the Arthurian Legend before going into this book so at least I knew for the most part what was going on. All of the parts of the book were lovely though some times it felt that some of the chapters in certain books didn't seem like they fit. Especially in the Tristram books. The book got annoying especially when other knights couldn't recognize each other. But I suppose that would be common for having over one hundred knights in your companionship. But even the most common knights didn't know each other and that's what was really annoying. I was never a fan of Lancelot in the tales and even here I would get really annoying with him but I like how on his death bed he realized it was his selfish love of Gwenievre that Arthurs world fell apart. Interesting, I had never heard that before.
