was nothing like the movie... i like the book better ( )What a fun re-telling of an ancient tale of King Arthur. Set in a modern high school, Ellie, a recent transplant to Maryland with her parents, both medieval historians, encounters all the characters you would expect to meet at the Round Table. A fast and fun read, as a fan of Arthurian tales, I would recommend this for the young adult. Quote: "Except.....Except that when Will’s fingers wrapped around the hilt, something seemed to…change. I couldn’t put my finger on what, exactly. Maybe because at that moment, everything changed. It was as if someone had hit the autofocus button on the world." (188) Fun. Imaginative. Just wish the follow-ups were novels, instead of manga. Would have loved to read more. Such a fun play on Arthurian Legend. And from the female perspective. Wish she would write a true sequel and not those silly graphic novels. January 13 - 16, 2011 This is a GREAT book! I reread it for a book challenge, but it had been a while anyway. Plus, the TERRIBLE Disney TV movie of the book came out last month (or so), and I wanted to dispel that awfulness with the REAL story. :P I love, love, love Will and Ellie! I remember the first time I read this book, I was like, "Ummm... Meg? That was weird!" It IS different than Meg's other books (subject matter-wise), but I like it more and more each time I read it! Fabulous book with mythological/fantastical elements! :) Previous reads I love this audiobook. The narrator is fantastic! The book is GREAT! nincs kritika | kritika hozzáadása
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060755881, Paperback)Avalon High, I was starting to think, might not be so bad after all. Maybe it's not where Ellie wants to be, but if you have to start at a new school, Avalon High is typical enough: There's Lance, the jock. Jennifer, the cheerleader. And Will, senior class president, quarterback, and all-around good guy. But not everyone at Avalon High is who they appear to be . . . not even, as Ellie is about to discover, herself. As a bizarre drama begins to unfold, Ellie has to wonder, what part does she play in all this? Do the coincidences she's piecing together really mean—as in King Arthur's court—that tragedy is fast approaching for her new friends? Ellie doesn't know if she can do anything to stop the coming trouble. But somehow, she knows she has to try. (Amazonról letöltve Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:50:10 -0500) Having moved to Annapolis, Maryland, with her medievalist parents, high school junior Ellie enrolls at Avalon High School where several students may or may not be reincarnations of King Arthur and his court.
