Mist of Avalon Audiobook

" Entertaining! Like reading Greek mythology & England's history "

" It had been at least 20 years since I read this book when I downloaded the audio book. I'd forgotten how fully engaging and enjoyable the story is. Bradley's style is very human, with great insight into the ups and downs of life and the tapestry of the individual. This is an artful and slightly fanciful retelling of the tale of Arthur from a perspective that deviates from the male-hero-centric telling of a story that's been told many times. "

" I picked this up while on my Arthurian fiction kick, and remember being apathetic towards it overall. "

" Very good book..my 3rd reading "

" This was like a weird bender. I devoured it and could hardly get enough but it made me feel kind of uneasy, and now that I've finished it I have about a million complaints. Basically, it's trashy and strangely anti-feminist in its feminism (though I appreciate the effort of course), but somehow incredibly compelling. "

" I loved this. It's my "dead of winter, curled up at the fire and lost for hours" book. Avoid the HBO movie like the plague. "

" One of my all time favorite books. It's a book you can really lose yourself in. It's magic and history and folklore and spirituality rolled into a fascinating tale of King Arthur, Lancelot, Gwenhwyfar and Morgaine. The novel is told from the perspective of the female characters. Morgaine is the heroine of the novel. She is a power women with an intense loyalty to both her Celtic traditions and her matriarchal heritage. I lost many nights of sleep because I could not put this book down. "

" I got this book from my great-grandma who happens to be a book sale fiend. :) I was enjoying this book, getting a little wary about the sex scenes that kept cropping up. I was about half-way through it when I had to put it down. Brother and sister become lovers, I just about threw up after reading that. It's too bad I had to put it down. The plot was really good, unfortunately the sex spoiled it for me. Its a great fantasy story, I would recommend it for that and that alone. "

" I have always loved Arthurian legends and this book made me love them more! "

" An interesting feminist take on the Arthurian legend. A little heavy-handed in some areas and definitely and struggle to finish. The exploration of the often overlooked Morgan Le Fay makes the books worthwhile. "

" I first read this book as a teenager and have reread it several times since. It is one of the few novels that have actually had a noticable influence on the way I think. "

" Loved this book the first time and once again. The women are great and much of the book is very relevant to what is happening in this country today with the christian over-running the place and pushing everyone else out! "

" Long and descriptive, not the most gripping narrative BUT a totally unique perspective on good old king Arthurs court. I love how it takes a shot with the history of some during this time. "

" I usually love these kinds of books, but from the beginning I was not intrigued. I had to put it down a couple of times and start something else, and I'm not a more-than-one-book-at-a-time type of girl. "

" One of my all time favorite books. I've read it at least five times over the years. "

" This is one of my favorite books ever! I have read it several times. I was hooked instantly the first time I read it and could not put it down. "

" Loved this story of Arthur through women's eyes "

" Intriguing. I've had to get the whole series now. So many great books, so little time! "

" It took me 4 tries to read this book. When I was finally ready for it, it blew my mind. It took time but it was well worth it. Give it a chance if you have tried before but couldn't dedicate the time! "

" Loved the story... until the end of the book where it became a bit predictable. "

" LOVED this book. Although the writing kind of falls apart toward the end (as though the author got tired after 800+ pages), the different spin on the over-familiar Arthurian legend was so refreshing! "

" Not for dudes, its all feelings. "

" Entertaining enough, but not one of the best books of all time. It dragged in spots. "

" Such a long and complex book, with many twists and turns. Various plot lines that somehow all intertwine to make a readable and quite enjoyable piece of work, while this book took me a while to read, i found that once i picked it up, i didnt like to put it down. "

" I have read this book twice and loved it both times! "

" Ich fand das Buch doof und viel zu lang. "

" I loved this book--the Arthurian legend told through the lens of the women. One of my all-time favourites. "
