Books - Mythos, Stephen Fry

[cybermule]

I got about a third into this retelling of the Greek Myths, and then decided to ditch it. It wasn't that it was poor - it was as smart and witty as you'd expect from Stephen Fry. It's just that it's a very big book, I'm already familiar with the Greek Myths, and if I wasn't or I wanted to brush up, I would go and read the Robert Graves version.

Having said that, it might be a good present for a smart kid. And other people may enjoy it more.

I grabbed a copy from the library but I haven't started it yet. I wasn't sure either which is why I decided not to buy it.

Yeah. You may well enjoy it, but I'd imagine you know the material already :p
