Matthew JenkinsI. The genre of “The Book of Merlyn” is speculative fiction or science fiction. This book is classified as speculative fiction because of the way the story unfolds not as an adventure but as a discussion where Merlyn, King Arthur and a few other friendly creatures of nature debate about Homo sapiens, and especially why do they have wars. There are many innovations in this book. For example, this book creates such a new type of book that has never been seen before, just like its extremely philosophical and intellectual nature.II.

The central conflict in the plot of "The Book of Merlyn" (external) is the long debate between the characters as they decide what humans should be called, how they fit into the world, and, most importantly, they're supposed to be there. The climax is when King Arthur becomes human again after being a goose and somehow becoming happy in his own way. The denouement occurs when the king makes a peace treaty with Mordred but the serpent ruins the treaty by frightening one of Mordred's men and starting the battle, causing the deaths of Mordred and King Arthur. There is a subplot where King Arthur becomes a goose and falls in love. . There isn't much suspense in this book. This book was not originally its own book and repeats some things from "The Once and Future King" series.IV. "The Book of Merlyn" ...... middle of paper ...... invention of war. It goes on and on in a rather didactic manner, and one could skip entire chunks of Merlyn's dialogue in particular without losing the story.Nikki.Review.Goodreads.Np,ndWeb.4Jan.2014.http://www .goodreads. com/book/show/48044.The_Book_of_Merlyn>.X. I think this story would make a great book but a terrible end to the series. The whole book is great and keeps the reader interested the whole time, but when it comes time to end, the book falls flat, leaving me wondering why it gives such a horrible view of life that by the end, the devil will win. Although I liked the idea of ​​a council of nature debating human life; The end of the book spoils the story. Having a snake scare an enemy soldier and Arthur's men take it as a sign of war is just a sad ending for such a brilliant writer, like the end of a surefire prize winner..
