After finally getting through the reading of Avalon High, I really enjoyed reading the second half of the book because it was a lot less annoying. I could not stand the fact that Elle was so star struck the first time she saw Will in the woods. She also acted really cheesy towards him when he showed up at her house. I thought that was kind of weird though how Will just showed up at the house not even knowing who Elle was. I felt like he was being a stalker. It was also weird how Will acted towards Elle when she asked about his girlfriend Gwen. It is obvious that there relationship is not all happiness and roses. Will came off strange to me when he was standing beside the pool and he went off into his own little world. Weirdo !! It was cheesy when the sword came into the picture. I had like a funny anime fight pictured in my head when this happened.
Something goofy like this . I guess I would have to say that in some ways this book was great because it did capture the normal drama that happens in high school. I also feel this book was bad because it was just very cheesy and it was made for high school students, not college students so that may be another reason I did not care for the book.

I find that re-reading books from middle and high school makes me question both my judgement and my memory. Was that how I really thought about boys back then? No wonder I was so awkward!
ReplyDeleteI thought that it was interesting reading this book. The middle/high school mentality sort of gave a down play from all the serious college-level literature we read before. It just felt good to read something simple and still understand the context of the Arthurian legend since the beginning of the semester.
