This definitely had it's funny moments but it also dragged in some places - for instance when it pokes fun of the repetitive, rambling style of the legends by... telling the story in that style. It works as satire but isn't the most enjoyable part to read. 

It was sometimes difficult to tell who was being poked fun at, the medieval English or the 'modern' American - both were rather ridiculous at times!

On the whole it was fun but I didn't find it particularly engaging.
