Me ha encantado. A veces la mitología es difícil de seguir para los simples mortales, ya que existen variedad de historias, personajes, versiones. Siento que este libro resume de manera didáctica, divertida y fácil de seguir todas estas historias. La manera de escribir de Stephen Fry es divertida, he soltado varias carcajadas durante el libro, fue como estuviese contando mi dia a dia con amigos, con diálogos y recreación de escenas. Realmente lo disfruté y ahora siento que tengo una visión más profunda de la mitología. Las notas de páginas/referencias fueron muy interesantes y añaden ese toque real a todo.

I love <b>Stephen Fry's</b> voice and I love history. This was an absolutely fun listen and a good way to pass the time! I listened to this while I was doing crochet, gaming, or even hitting the gym. Definitely worth a listen for those interested in history, lore and ancient beliefs, and made all the better by an articulate speaker who very clearly enjoyed his work!

The only real issue I had was keeping my place, a few times I had to skip or re-listen to the same stories until I got to the place I left the book at, but honestly, that wasn't a letdown. The stories were great and I didn't dislike listening to them more than once over the past few years. This is definitely an audiobook I would have ready to play in the future, an entertaining listen and a good soundtrack to life's tasks!
