3.0

The book is very well written and I liked how the stories were told in a more modern voice. Personally I would have enjoyed it more if there were fewer stories but each a bit longer. There were often long sections between stories just explaining how everyone is relayed to everything. And while that is interesting, there was just too much detail to be able to remember all of it. So I would’ve preferred if it was a little less in-depth and thorough

Please bear in mind, these are Greek myths. If you're not anticipating incest, rape, and death, i don't know what you expected. However, Fry never describes in detail any rape or sexual assault.
