“I thoroughly enjoyed this book it makes a change to read the legend from the female point of view and from Morgaine at that - a couple of things did jar a little the use of the word gotten which stood out like a sore thumb amongst the literary style employed and a passage about a "family party " which again was a bit glaring - a very intensly written book which took me a long time to read unusual since I am a quick reader- all in all enjoyable though sad ”
“Never seen a series, but I did rent the movie from the library..it was brutal. I think a book this involved doesn't translate well to the screen.”
“Awesome book! I loved it and read it twice. I don't know if anyone watched the cable series of the book--it was awful and didn't do the book any justice. ”
“I read it years ago. It was OK, but I've always in the end preferred The Once and Future King by TH White.”
“This is probably my all-time favorite book. I've read it so many times I've lost count. It's truly amazing.”
“I read this book in high school long long ago... (for a book report) and it was one of the first serious novels I read that affected me on a deep emotional level where I cared so much about the characters I was loosing sleep and basic motor functions... LOL ... Up until then- I'd never cared much for books... they were just annoying things I had to read for school... This book made me realize there was something more to them.You will HATE guenevere (sp?) if you read this book! But it is a classic and well written- and I recommend it highly!”
“oh my goodness i just got this book a couple days and is it good? i am so into the whole Arthurian legends and Celtic stuff it is so kool!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“The section you quoted is beautiful, Lander. It was that sort of insight and beautiful writing that really made me love this book.”
“Lander, I'll second that. When I first saw it I said "Oh, gee, yet another retelling of the Arthurian legend." After reading the book it has become my favorite retelling of the Arthurian legend.”
“It's not just for the ladies, guys. Read it."All the Gods are one God, and all the Goddesses are one Goddess, and there is only one Initiator. And to every man his own truth, and the God within.I have no quarrel with the Christ, only with his priests, who call the Great Goddess a demon and deny that she ever held power in this world. At best, they say that her power was of Satan. Or else they clothe her in the blue robe of the lady of Nazareth- who indeed had power in her way, too- and say that she was ever a virgin. But what can a virgin know of the sorrows and travail of mankind?"”
