tmleblanc 's review for:

Helen of Troy by Margaret George
2.0

As I listened to this book, I kept wondering if I would have liked it better if I had read the book instead. The narrator made Helen sound whiny and selfish. I couldn't wait to be done with the book because of the grating voice of the recording artist.

The one insightful thing about the Trojan War was that it was necessarily caused by Helen and Paris running off together. Although that was one of many things that precipitated the siege on the city. I found that twist on the legend to possibly be closer history than we know.
