The Once and Future King

I do not have a good reason for reading this fantastic book, but I have two bad ones, so. The first is that I saw the character Magneto reading it in the 'X-men' movie, and the second is that it was available when no other books were, so I started. I expected boring, drawn out, descriptions of moss and and the great grand parents of a side character ( i am not poking any sort of fun at Lord of the Rings, because i could never back that up. This is purely theoretical.) Once and Future King is nothing like that! its exciting, and interesting, and most surprisingly, hilarious.

It reminded me a lot more of the disney adaptation 'The Sword and the Stone' than I ever would have expected. I think they had some of the same jokes, which is too weird, and awesome. I hate that books seem like these big, boring things and 9 times out of 10, their absolutely not, and really every bit as entertaining as TV. Anyway, the plot revolves around young Arthur or 'Wart' meeting and being taught by merlin, the wizard. My favorite part so far (i am no where near finished) is when Arthur meets merlin, and his owl Archimedes. T.H white nails character psychology in only a few words, and i like his outlook on life. So far. (hes not allowed to kill Arthur).
