A Sword..in a Stone? What, what?

I dare say, what, what? Sword in the Stone was a jolly good read, what? From the moment I started reading I knew I would be more entertained with this quick little book than with the other LOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG boring books before it. Hehe. I concur with my long standing, jolly good and jolly ho friend Devon Trux that the book was not blowing my hair back.

I’ll tell you what…what. :-) I think it’s a great book to read to a young boy at bedtime. Since I don’t have a son to read to at bedtime I will probably keep this book on my shelf for that day because it was a very imaginative and intriguing book. With giants, witches and talking animals it’s sure to be more entertaining to young kids. I can see why this book ended up in the 501 Must Read Books children’s fiction section.

Now…..about the sword pulling part. HELLO! It was a couple of pages and totally not what I was hoping for! I wanted more about the knight’s games, London, the mysterious sword and all the little bits in between. I was slightly disappointed.

Out of the whole book my favorite part was Merlyn’s first spell to turn Wart into a fish. I texted Devon with a quote of my own. “did uoy dnatsrednu snylrem lleps? ti saw os looc”. Although throughout the rest of the book his spells didn’t follow the same format so it disappointed me a little. I liked the challenge. :-)

So kind readers, what. ‘Tis time to bid the farewell, what what, until the next literary discovery and our opinions on its profound excellence or total interference with the countdown of minutes we have on this bit of earth, what. Cheerio, tallyho, pish-posh and I dare say ole chaps….what, what.
