 I'm very surprised by the negative reviews... November 25, 2008
My seven-year old son picked this book up to read tonight and was completely immersed. It is an approachable, light version of a classic that he found captivating. What could be bad about that? I thought it was well written for the purpose... to introduce classic stories in a manner that teaches and excites the child to read more. He couldn't put it down. We will definitely purchase more from this series of books. Well done.
Not Bad & Condensed November 7, 2008
This is like a condensed version of Malory's L Morte Darthur, the standard bearer of Arthurian subject matter.

My seven year old daughter and I loved this book. It had humor, valor, and a good moral throughout.There is a theme throughout about not being mislead by appearances. At this point in my childs education I am endeavoring to build a good moral foundation so I appreciate a good story that reinforces values!

This book was one of three Bullseye Classics we bought for my son's second grade English class. He picked this one up as soon as the box arrived and had it read within an hour. He loved the stories and was able to re-tell them to his little sister. I hadn't heard the stories about "Big Hands" or "What do women want?" This collection really got his imagination going and he wants to read more about King Arthur.
To tell you the truth, I didn't notice the problems with sentence structure, etc...I was enjoying the stories too much.
 Awful writing, terrible grammar, bad for children October 1, 2003

In addition to the ham-handed telling of the story, the writing in these Bullseye books is just terrible. Half-sentences. Written like this. Or this. Part of the value of such books is that young readers will learn to read "chapter books." But the English and grammar in these books is so abysmal as to render them useless for this task. I was very disappointed.
