Book Reviews of The Once and Future King
Book Review: Simply the best book ever written
Summary: 5 Stars
The life of King Arthur has been described by numerous authors before, but never like Terence White did it. Approaching the subject from an entirely different angle, White grabs you, drags you into the story and never releases you until the story "ends". And what a story it is. What starts out as a refreshing and comic tale of Arthur's life and education when he was young, gradually darkens into a tragedy of lost youth and ideals. Nevertheless, despite the fact that on the last page the King rides out to meet his doom, there is just that tiny note of optimism that makes you follow the author's suggestion to start reading the story all over again. I have done so, reading the story dozens of times, without ever getting bored. Terence White's wit, artistry and genius is so enormous that you discover something new each time you read the book again. Buy it now or regret it later.
