Has anyone read this book? I found it on several reading lists, and it always had good reviews, so I reserved it at the library. I was going to use this as my next read aloud to the kids, but as I skimmed through it, it's boring me to death! Maybe it's just me, but this is the second "Classic" set in the Middle Ages that I've tried to read, but ended up quitting. I figure if it bores me, I can't in good conscience expect the kids to sit through it! The first one that I tried is "A Door in the Wall." It, too, was an award winner. Maybe I'm just not giving these books a chance. If there's something I'm missing, or if you have another novel that is set in the Middle Ages that you could suggest, please let me know!
