Arthur and the Round Table Completed Read for 1Hr.
Spoiler alert
This story covers all of Arthur’s Life. It begins by telling of his birth and how he claimed his kingship by pulling the sword from the stone. Next it talks about how he wed Guinevere and formed the round table. Sir Galahad the greatest knight ever, comes for a short time, sees the Holy Grail, then dies. Then it talks about how Sir Lancelot was one of the greatest and most powerful knights and Arthurs best friend. Unfortunally, he had a thing for Guinevere, which led to an affair, which led to Guinevere almost being burned( For it was a crime back then) which led to Lancelot having to rescue her, which triggered a big war that ended in almost all the knights dying and the death of Arthur.
Let me just say that this is one of the most depressing stories I have ever read. I mean come on. It seems like everyone dies at the end.(Is it repeating Hamlet?) I mean come ON, Sir Galahad, my favorite knight, has to die in this version! Then there is this whole Lancelot affair thing. Why couldn’t Guinevere have been faithful? Couldn’t Lancelot have shown more restraint? He was Arthur’s best friend after all. But no, they had to go betray Arthur and lead to the death of all but the bad people and one knight. Plus, once they killed Galahad I was done, I mean he only got 2 pages out of the countless ones.
This book was written poorly, it dragged and was hard to understand sometimes.
This book was very depressing, a struggle to get through because it was boring, so I’ll be nice and give it 2 stars.
