Oh my word, where to start? This whole series is one of the best that I have read and is permanently on my Kindle, as well as the 'real' books being bought as and when funds allow!

The characters themselves are wonderful and there are so many aspects to fall in love with - the men and women themselves, the relationships between them, their loyalty, their children, the Knights and Lady, the trainees, the Sovereign - the list goes on. Even in Book 5, this story is still fresh and the characters are still growing. I honestly couldn't say which one is my favourite as they are all magnificent. You meet some new characters in this book in the shape of 'original' vampires and Knights-in-training.

This book is again action packed and will leave you breathless. It made me laugh, it definitely made me cry. I was worried, stressed and tense. All these things are GOOD because it means that I have been drawn into the world that I am reading about.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

British comedy at its best
One of the greatest comiedies ever written. British legend John Clese and his merry gang so to speak create this 19070's era spoof on king arthur and his merry knights. His humor was different for it's time but really was the beginning for shows and movies like Police Squad and Airplane. If you haven't seen it and are a movie fan this is a must watch. If you need a good laugh this is a must watch or if it's on tv just watch it you wont regret it.

Mostly whimsical science-fantasy from possibly the world's most widely-read author in the genre. The majority of these stories are cybernetic folk-tales about robot kings, knights, princesses, and so on, having various unlikely experiences: the tales are droll but also highly imaginative and witty. Also included are a couple of longer, more serious stories - one about a man hunting a robot, the other about a robot hunting a man - no prejudice here, to paraphrase the translator. Well-written and entertaining, gives a sense of Lem's range as an author.

Ni!
Probably my favourite of the Monty Pythion movies - although I'm aware it gets short shrift next to The Life of Brian - with this being eminently quotable, and really just using the Arthurian Search for the Holy Grail legend as the clothes-line on which to lay skit after skit after skit:

In no particular order:

She's a witch!
Camelot. 'Tis a silly place
The Black Knight
There's some lovely mud over here!
The Knights who say Ni
Brave Sir Robin ran away ...

I could go on ...
