This was a fantastic read! It's especially fun to listen to. The narrator, Suzanne Toren, does an amazing job in bringing the stories to life.
The stories themselves were laid out in a way that was easy to understand, though I think I could hear the parts that were quotes directly from the original translations. It sounded different, but the delivery of the story made it easy on the ears. Kind of like how watching a Shakespeare play helps you understand the content more than just reading the script from a book.
Unfortunately, I zoned out of the last bit about the Norse mythology. I wasn't much interested in them after all the excitement of the Greek myths that took up 90% of the book.

Greek myths are dark, and some of the stories are a little horrifying, but the stories aren't long.cemeterygay's review against another edition
