This was so good! The writing is beautiful and the place is so bizarre and almost haunting. I wish I didn't have to wait for the next one from the library.
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?
