Alfred is a giant of a teenager whose world is turned upside down when he helps his uncle steal a giant sword from the office of a wealthy CEO for a shadowy character named Mogart. The story is at times very sad, but generally quite good, full of adventure and Arthurian legend and surprisingly realistic characters. Something I would have enjoyed quite a lot as a kid. I have put off reading this book for years, but have finally given in and read it. Why did I wait so long?? It was really good; full of action and a hero that I actually wanted to succeed. The links to King Arthur give it a similar feel to Percy Jackson, with his links to ancient myhology. I have just found that it is the first of a trilogy, so I am going to read the others; they have so much to live up to. A really fantastic read for boys especially.
"The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp" draws little of its energy from its source myths. Yancey's knights lack the melancholy poetry of their ancestors; they seem like something out of a video game, or at best a Hollywood movie.
