"Stephen Fry is hilarious and a very good narrator so this audiobook was fantastic. I loved it plus I love anything to do with all kinds of Mythologies. This was also useful for me with research for my Greek Myth retelling I've been working on writing too. I'm excited to read/listen to the other Mythology books by Stephen Fry now as well.<br/>I would highly recommend this especially if you love Mythology/Greek Mythology and Stephen Fry. This is especially good quality and great in the audiobook format."

"This was a delightful retelling and a treat to listen too. It was also surprisingly a interesting history into linguistics."

"<strong>Stephen Fry does it again..</strong><br/><br/>This is the second novel of Stephen Fry that I’ve read. The way he tells the story about Greek Mythology is amazing. He makes the stories fun, and relatable. I feel like these stories happened recently, not thousands of years ago. I really enjoy these books and the writing style. It’s fluid, personable, witty and enlightening. There are a lot of myths I knew of, and some that were completely new to me. I can’t wait to read his newest book, Troy. Hopefully it lives up to the same standards as this one."
