Great fun of reading. Big book, but the chapters are so short it reads very quickly. You have to get used to the archaic language, but it is delightfully adventurous.

It is a great book, however, I would not recommend to read it from the beginning to the end, it can result very repetitive at some points. As you probably know this book is a compilation of the Arthurian legends, so you can choose the chapter you are interested in and when you finish it you can jump to a very different one. I read half of the book time ago, and a couple of days ago I read the passing of Arthur ( last chapters of the book ), I still have to read the holy grail and the Tristan chapters, which I will do sonner or later.
