When he died, all things swift and beautiful and bright will be buried with him.

God, this book. I don't say this often, but I believe I have found one of my new all-time favourite books. I started reading this together with one of my closest friends. We share a lot of opinions, interests and etc, so it didn't need much convincing from her for me to read this book.
It has been some time since I finished it and I am still not sure whether to just love it or to feel that tiny bit of hate, just because of what it did to me. I love Greek mythology so this was an easy starter for me, but even if you are not as interested in mythology, you are gonna be perfectly able to understand everything.
The characters are great, I love Patroculs and Achilles and I love the way they developed through the entire book. I never wanted to put the story down and I've read the pages so fast, I still cant't believe I was able to resist finishing it in one go.

If you can: read it. You will not be disappointed.
