A review by books_are_nice_and_enjoyable
Troy by Stephen Fry

slow-paced

3.0

I decided to give the book a rest after having read the first 270 pages or so. It's not as good as the first two of Fry's books on these topics, in my opinion, but that may partly be due to the raw material with which he had to work; I also never finished the Iliad because I found it frankly boring and unengaging.

After having given the book 'a rest' I did decided to 'get back to it'. While I was reading the rest of the book I actually found it to be quite enjoyable. Reading the book was a mixed experience for me, but this is not a bad book.
