I liked it very much, in particular the way that Grossman handled [ISPOILER]Gawain and Lancelot. He managed to be respectful of previous traditions while carving out some interesting nuance for the characters. Gawain's not as much of an ass, and Lancelot is somewhat more of one, which was fun.[/ISPOILER]I also had a flight today and was able to finish Ryan O'Hanlon's Net Gains, a book on analytics in soccer.  The bulk of it was interesting, but I thought his conclusions were a bit rough. I need to sit with it some more, maybe reread the last chapter and make sure that I'm being fair, but finishing a book on analytics in soccer with the suggestion that maybe it's all a mystery was a bit of a letdown.</blockquote>
