Excellent book; portrays the well-known characters of Arthurian legend as real people with complex personalities, and the ideals of the Round Table as a constantly-evolving philosophy. I fell asleep trying to read Malory in high school, but there's so much dimension to White's version of Arthur's life and times that it almost feels like a totally different story.
Note: While reading this book, I ran across a lot more unfamiliar words than usual. This website was a really helpful resource for understanding the obscure hunting, culinary, etc. terms that White uses: http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/thwhite.htm#anim
