Reviews with content warning for Violence - Mythos: De Griekse mythen herverteld

The book is very well written and I liked how the stories were told in a more modern voice. Personally I would have enjoyed it more if there were fewer stories but each a bit longer. There were often long sections between stories just explaining how everyone is relayed to everything. And while that is interesting, there was just too much detail to be able to remember all of it. So I would’ve preferred if it was a little less in-depth and thorough

It was firmly fine. The voice of the author tended to make me cringe, and I would have appreciated more clarification on how many liberties were taken with the retelling. It was an enjoyable enough read as someone who's always loved greek mythology and very readable. That said, completing it was more of a chore than anything else

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AUDIOBOOK! Fry is a fascinating story teller who kept me engaged for every moment of this book. I listened on the way to work, while walking the dogs, in the shower, while I got ready in the mornings, and I was never disengaged from the narrative. Are these stories we have heard before? Absolutely! Have they been told in a new way? These stories have been given new life in Fry's retellings.
