Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

I haven't read Mark Twain since being in junior high school. And now I know why.

I started reading this book with expectations that it would be wonderful; it is Mark Twain after all. But for about the first half of the book, there wasn't much plot, and the narrator simply explains, in painfully exquisite detail, what it is like within King Aurthur's court. Not story, just descriptions.

The story finally gets going about half way in, but pretty much peters out at the end with a quick wrap up rather than a well thought out narrative.

I may try out some of Mark Twain's better known literature in the future, but this one kind of left a bad taste in my mouth.
