Read this for coursework.

This is actually a good adaptation of Sophocles' Oedipus with lots of beautiful pictures. It was interesting their decision to put the narrator/chorus into a different colour compared to the direct speech. Anyway, I've found that they have done other adaptions of Greek plays, would be interested to read those. 

Wish me luck on the coursework though, there is no way I can write 3000 words on this book... interesting but not 3000 words interesting.
dark medium-paced

Unterhaltsam... aber wieso ist meine Lieblingsfigur Antigone nicht hier?
