Le Morte D'Arthur Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Required reading, but not necessarily fun reading. "

" Favorite book, all-time "

" Here is the structure of those well known stories of King Arthur, and his Knights of the Round Table. Once Arthur becomes King, the story bogs down into tales of knightly honor and fighting. There is much repetition here. One would think that it is quite normal for a woman to bedded by a man disguised as another via witchcraft. The story ends, like the title, with the death of Arthur. Worth the read, but a slog in the middle. "

" I enjoyed this book and now know a lot more about the Arthurian legend than I did before. Not an easy read, but worth the effort. "

" I love this edition, in spite of the blackletter trying to imitate the rubrication of the Winchester manuscript. "

" this one was probably my favorite out of my senior year required reading. I just really enjoy Medieval literature and the irony and satire. "

" It was a diffucult read for me but I enjoyed it very much despite my sluggish pace. "

" Really who wouldn't give the legends surrounding Camelot a 10. They're "legendary". "

" Really good so far!! "

" It was interesting getting to read some of the legends in one of the earlier forms. However, the old language made it hard to get through and sometimes it felt like the book only talked about who smote whom. "

" Why on earth does anybody need a translation of Malory? It's not like his English wasn't pretty easy stuff anyway. "

" Very long. Many good tales, not a whole lot of which I can currently recall. Definitely a must read for anyone who loves the Arthurian legends. "

" I love the story about Tristan. "

" I was a little disappointed with this one. There were sections that got really annoying - such as when resting for a few days healed people who should have bleed to death days ago. "

" I wanted to love this book. The translation was good as far as understanding the text but the flow of the writing left a lot to be desired. There was no life, no color to the prose. That's probably a function of my limitations more so than Mallory's writing, but still I could not finish the book. "

" I read through this book the first time in 11th grade and many times since. "

" Every King Arthur story out there seems to be in this book. Great source of information. "

" I love this writing style! Although it is not easy to read I really enjoy it. I've been reading this on and off for about a year! I'll finish it someday! "

" I read the whole book, unabridged,and it took me forever. It's pretty tough going because the language is archaic, and sometimes it can be hard to tell what person is the main focus of the action. "

" I read it in high school and it was really affecting. I rank it as one of the more important books I have read because of the influence it had on me. Very ennobling:) "

" The title's a spoiler and it borders on misogyny; I enjoyed it anyway. "

" Absolutely brilliant, a must-read, especially for any King Arthur fan! A bit hard to read... a lot of the character's names are similar, but once you get into it, it's absolutely amazing. "

" solidly classic, but ultimately way too long-winded. "

" These stories are timeless. I could lose myself in Camelot for hours. Malory's writing is still beautiful. "

" I'm a sucker for the Arthur stuff... "

" This is the best record of King Arthur "

" If you love Arthurian legend, this is a requisite book. "

" Too long. Way, way, way too long. "

" I love this writing style! Although it is not easy to read I really enjoy it. I've been reading this on and off for about a year! I'll finish it someday! "

" This book grounded me in the legends of King Arthur. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the tales of chivalry that make up so much of our early literature. It's my understanding that Malory wrote this while he was in prison. "

" Important, but barf. Not my area. "

" Although this is considered one of the first King Arthur books, I have to say that it was one of the most boring books that I have ever read. "

" I always felt bad for arthur but not after this. Arthur is tricked into thinking Lance and Gwen are hooking up so he is going to burn her at the stake. Lance finds out and saves her. She ends up starving herself to death at the nunnery. you know great happy stuff. "

" Great book. Loved this book. Long read, but indeed worth the time and effort. "

" I enjoyed this book and now know a lot more about the Arthurian legend than I did before. Not an easy read, but worth the effort. "
