I'm sorry, but to put this book among the pantheon of Circe or The Silence of the Girls is an insult. I suppose if you're looking for a quasi modern re-telling of Greek myth with an uneven plot, stilted dialogue, and little feminist insight, this is the right book for you. As for me, I'm highly disappointed.
