The Song of Achilles

Wrote a review for

“I wish he had let you all die.”

There are many aspects of this book that I didn’t like, including the tone of voice, the frequent use of cheesy metaphors, and the lack of realism in the descriptions of ancient Greece. But in the end, I cried a little and that has to count for something.

(Reading The Song of Achilles taught me way more about the Iliad than secondary school in Greece.)
