Written in a very poetic and Homeric manner. Unfortunately for me..I was never good at reading Homer. I was only able to understand what was going on based on that movie Troy with Brad Pitt (don't laugh..I love that flick) and what little I knew about Greek mythology. I still don't understand most of what I read in this book...short as it was. Oh well. Maybe you poetic types will like this one. I like the idea of the story. But I need common language to grasp it. Sorry Ms. Cook.
