King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table

            This is just about the only audio book I will ever review on this site because I want you to decide for yourself how you want to enjoy the books I will be reviewing.

            This is the story of King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table. It tells of the death of Uther, the pulling of the Sword from the Stone, the receiving of Excalibur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, The Lady of Shallot, and Arthur's death at the hands of Mordred and his eternal sleep in Avalon. The stories are well told, and told elsewhere if you want more than the three track dedication to them in the book itself. An interesting read of England's only true myth.

            I checked it out because of who is reading it: Sean Bean. I have had a Hollywood crush on him for some time and relished the idea of Sean Bean reading me a story. You might know him as Borimir from Lord of the Rings or Ned Stark in Game of Thrones.

It is a joke in Hollywood that Bean is the actor they won't let live. He has died in just about 90% of his movies. Yet he is an excellent actor and can play good, bad, and grey characters equally well. I really enjoyed listening to him read the story of King Arthur and really could see him portraying an older Arthur in a movie at some point.
