2.0

The audiobook was sooooo painful, seriously I wonder if I would have liked the book if it werent for his droning voice. Ick. But also the writing was clunky and the pace was weird. 

Spoiler

I truly don't understand what patroculus brings to the table, his only job in the whole plot was to talk about loving achilles he had almost no personality or actions otherwise
