4.2 AVERAGE


i am out of words and surely need to write a more thought-out review for this book, but oh my god, was this one of the best coming of age stories i have ever read!

geryon's struggles are shown in a progressing yet truthful way. his feelings and worries and thoughts feel so familiar. it was just so beautiful.

a seemingly simple yet incredibly layered story. can't wait to read more from anne carson.

sometimes i read a book and i feel like i just need an english teacher to sit down and explain it to me and this was one of those... i think i enjoyed it? but also i really did not know what was going on a lot of the time, so. i had a good time though im pretty sure

This is a short, and very fun book!

Describes as a poetic novel or something it reads just as a wonderful play on mythology.

Very much worth the few hours to check out.
