Lion's Honey

I didn't finish this book, I got to around three quarters of the way through. After reading the Penelopiad I was looking forward to reading more of the Canongate Myths. However I really didn't enjoy this book very much. Although I like the myth of Samson... I felt that all this book did was provide questions to ask yourself when considering the myth. I believe it is good to ask questions of myths, but the level of literary criticism provided in this book I felt at some points was irrelevant and ridiculous, and at others interesting and thought provoking.

Although some people may find the questioning nature of the book a good thing, I found it to be increasingly difficult to read. I feel quite torn in my feelings towards this book, but I feel more negatively towards it than positively!
