This was my first Edward Lee book and my first dive into splatterpunk... and it’s a brutal introduction. It starts out disgusting and never really stops. The plot is wild: a billionaire tries to offend God by orchestrating the most horrific acts imaginable. It’s repulsive, extreme, and clearly meant to push every boundary it can find.

I can respect that it tries to give all the depravity a purpose, but it’s not a fun or humorous read; it’s just disturbing. The characters don’t have much depth, and the editing is honestly a mess in places. Still, the sheer extremity and weird concept stuck with me. I didn’t enjoy it in the traditional sense, but I’m glad I read it.

I really enjoyed this one. I’d heard pieces of Greek myths before through movies or random references, but never the full stories. Mythos does a great job filling in the gaps and giving everything proper context. Stephen Fry tells it all in a super clear and funny way. It’s informative without ever feeling dry.

Definitely recommended if you’re even slightly curious about Greek mythology.

I absolutely loved this. The world is disturbing and extreme, but it’s not just shock for the sake of it. The story hits hard. Even without the brutal setting, the stuff the main character goes through is genuinely emotional. I actually got tears in my eyes at one point, which almost never happens with books.

What can I say that hasn’t already been said? It’s a must-read. The themes still feel disturbingly relevant, and the world Orwell built is just so bleak and believable. I expected it to go in a different direction, so the ending completely caught me off guard, and it hit hard. One of those books that sticks with you long after you finish.

A fascinatingly weird book. At first the quality of the writing was a bit poor, but once the story actually got started, I didn't have any issues with it anymore. The content is just weird, disgusting, yet fascinating... Not sure how to describe it, you just have to experience it I guess...
