Wow what a read that was. Stephens humour does come through quite a bit and reading this makes the film version look like a child's pantomime.
I did struggle with the names at times but I thoroughly enjoyed it all the same.

So incredibly good. I own both the hard back copy and the audio. Both are essential! I am very sad that the book is over. It gave me a better understanding of the Trojan war and a feel for the players. I was able to sympathize with many, even Achilles though I am a starch Hector fan. I already miss Stephen Frys voice. Will have to pick up Sherlock Holmes just to hear him again.
