I really like greek mythology - so reading about it is always very interesting. I keep on discovering more and more about it.

It‘s kind of a good introduction into greek mythology, but the title should be ‚tales of the male greek heroes without mention of their cruelty‘

2 is generous. This was not a good retelling of the greek myths. it was boring and slow, and I don’t know how Rick Riordan could have enjoyed reading this as a kid, because I struggled through it as an adult. The only thing this book had going for it is that the greek myths are interesting. the way it was told did not add any interest.
