A review by bootrat
The Iliad by Homer

Did not finish book. Stopped at 16%.
Extremely boring and repetitive. Apart from small mentions of the gods, and them arguing about meddling in the war, the whole book seems to be lists of names and relatisns, and who killed whom. "Person 1, son of x from [place], fought person 2, son of y from [place], and killed him like this. Then person 1 fought person 3, son of z from [place], and killed him like this." 
I got 2.5 hours in, and it seemed like this was going to be the entire book! Maybe I'll revisit it at some point, but as a physical book rather than an audiobook so I can skim through it and see if anything more actually happens.
