The Prince and the Pilgrim: (Classics of Arthurian Legend) (Abridged) Audiobook

" Mary Stewart lite - a lovely little side story of a young knight who heads off to seek his fortune (and revenge the death of his father) and instead meets a girl and falls in love. I liked it. "

" I like a lot of Mary Stewart's book. They have action, they are fast paced, and they have a little bit of romance without the sex. This book was none of these. It started okay but I just thought it was boring and it didn't have any interesting action or much of a story at all. "

" It was fine. Nothing great or extraordinary or even rightly exciting. A simple enough love story set in the dark ages. A quick read. "

" I was a simple, sweet, predictable story - it was a good read. "

" While not nearly as good as Mary Stewart's other Arthurian novels, this is her last novel of Arthur's time, and I'm exceedingly reluctant to leave her world. "

" I liked the book but after reading the real legend at the end, I would have prefered if she had done the storyline around the original legend. I loved her Merlin/King Arthur series. "

" She can't do history like Georgette Heyer can, but it's a good story. "

" I was so disappointed with this book, it certainly was not up to Mary Stewart's high standards. Her characters had no depth, the story telling was lack lustre and I often had the feeling I was reading someone elses work. I completed reading it only in deference to her earlier works to be honest. "

" The fourth volume of Mary Stewart's Arthurian trilogy adds to the whole but stands equally well on its own. I love her Arthur books and have read them each at least twice. "

" Ordinarily I love Mary Stewart's books; however, this one falls flat. I believe (though I could be mistaken) that this was one of her earlier books that was later re-published after her later successes. Although it is an enjoyable read, many of her other books are far better. "

" boring. historical novel from king arthur era. "

" This was a fun read, well researched and interesting. I still like her romances the best, though...... "

" One of Mary Stewart's later efforts. I think she lost her edge somewhere along the way. "

" Again, better than I remembered, but that may be an effect of reading it straight after her other Arthurian books with all the events fresh in my mind. Alexander is a bit dumb, but Alice makes up for it. "

" It's an easy escape. Not quite up to the Merlin trilogy, but still an enjoyable read. "

" I love Mary Stewart, but this was not one of her better books. BORING! "

" The mix of legend and history just didn't work for me in this book. It did spark my interest in learning more about the Frankish Merovingian kings, though. (Predecessors to Charlemagne.) I'm going to read The Crystal Cave next, to see if it still measures up to my 5 star rating from my youth! "

" Not as exciting as the Merlin trilogy, nor as detailed. Not a lot of character development; you really have to have read the other books to fill in the background. "

" This book was written better than the previous four books in the Merlin series. Language is simple; descriptions aren't flowery; sentence structure is active, rather than passive. Reads quickly and easily. "

" Set in the same world as her Merlin books but a totally independent stand alone story. "

" Didn't like this book at all with a very boring plot that plods along. "

" This was a bit of a disappointment after reading her other Arthurian books. Seems like this was just leftovers that weren't put into the others. "

" not as good as her earlier Arthurian novels, but still a pleasant dip into historical fiction "

" Didn't like this book at all with a very boring plot that plods along. "

" Oops! I hadn't realized this was part of a saga. So I guess I just started out on book 5...... "

" The first ¾ of the book were good, the last ¼ far too predictable and pat. I saw the ending rushing towards me with no surprises and no deviations. Kind of sad. "

" As a HUGE Mary Stewart fan, this did not do it for me. It was o.k. but she has written so many better works previous, this was a disappointment. "
