A review by chrystalo
Avalon High by Meg Cabot

3.0

This book was quite interesting. The reason I picked it up in the first place is because I had seen a very entertaining movie version of the book (it was a Disney Channel Original Movie, so take that as you will). Because I am generally of the opinion that "the book is always better", I decided to give it a try. This is not a difficult read, there is nothing particularly complex happening here, but it is fun, quick, and interesting. I wasn't expecting the big twist to go the way that it did (which is one way that the book differs from the movie), but I did feel that the historical or mythological take on the age0old Arthur story (depending on your personal opinion of Arthurian legend) was somewhat compelling and definitely more thought out in the book form of this story. It's closer to a 2.5 than a 3 in my opinion, but still worth a quick read if you're into that sort of thing.
