This crude send-up of the Arthurian legends was funny in an unsophisticated and earthy fashion. It made me laugh more than once, but ultimately it isn't as hilarious as it thinks it is. Too self-conscious by half. ( )

Witty, wordy, and foul, this is a deeply amusing collection of vaguely Arthurian stories. You know Michael Palin and the Castle Anthrax? Yeah, like that. ( )

This book required that I frequently stop reading to wipe away tears of laughter and pause to take in more oxygen. Prepare yourself for a most hearty laugh as the Arthurian legends are told (in keeping with the book title) to include lusty maidens, beggars, an overbearing oaf as the Baron, and even a priest who 'shrives' the sins of the Lady and her Daughter by trials of the flesh. This is not your typical portrayal at all. If you like your olden day heroes untarnished, clean and honorable, or have prudish tendencies, then by all means don't read this book. Very funny, very well written with some memorable phrases that will get the tear ducts working overtime. Not recommended reading for funerals or other such solemn occasions however. ( )
