I disliked the prose, it felt too like non fiction to be compelling despite the stories being so good

I too, have fallen in love with Greek mythology as child, reading a particular children's book, where Greek mythology stories were my favorite ones, that I reread the most often. Unfortunately, unlike that children's book, this book doesn't manage to inspire the same feelings of love as it offers dry, uninspired and superficially presented retelling of stories from Greek mythology.
