   I grew up on Arthurian legends but this version had some stories I hadnt heard before. The section with Sir Beaumains was new to me and turned out to be one of my favorites. The language is a bit old fashioned but thats part of the charm. Would of liked more illustrations though.

   Absolutely love this collection. The story of Sir Balin and the Dolorous Stroke is so tragically beautiful. Holland did a great job making Malory accessible without dumbing it down. The quest for the Holy Grail section gave me chills. Only complaint is the font could be bigger but thats a ereader thing not the book.

   Its alright. Lots of knights fighting and chivalry stuff which is cool but the middle section drags quite a bit. Sir Tristram’s story goes on forever. I get that its a classic but I found myself skipping pages. The ending with Arthur’s passing was well done I suppose.

   This is exactly what I needed. The magic of Camelot, the tragedy of Lancelot and Guinevere, the nobility of Galahad. Its all here. Holland’s adaptation is perfect for someone who wants the full Arthurian cycle without struggling through Middle English. Ive already read it twice. Highly recomend.

   Good book lots of battles and honor and stuff. The sword fights are described really well you can picture it all. Sir Gawain is my boy. A bit long though, like do we realy need that much detail about every single joust? Overall solid.
