This was fine. I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt and going with four stars. The actual crime parts are fascinating and really well told. The parts about Douglas himself or other general info are so boring/poorly written.

Won through Goodreads in exchange for a review.

This is the second volume of Stephen Fry's retellings of the Greek myths. While I did enjoy this - there are some good lines and modernized language - I'm not really sure who this book is for. If you're a Stephen Fry fan, reading his books, you've probably already read or are otherwise familiar with these stories. If you're not a fan, this entry being so much his version probably wouldn't appeal anyway.

That all said, it is a good, accessible version of the myths and quite enjoyable overall. (But I think I still prefer Edith Hamilton's book.)

What a strange story.

The more I think about it, the more I think I liked it, so I'll bump it up a star. It reminds me of something, but I'm not sure what. Maybe Chuck Palahniuk? Sort of?

Okay, that was really sweet. I'm a sucker for any sort of “Sliding Doors” type thing, so this was right up my alley.
