A review by ineffablebooks
Bull by David Elliott
3.0
3.5 stars
While I enjoyed the retelling of this story and the overall mythological flair, there were some parts that just felt awkward. Poseidon's POV was by far the best parts of this, and I could have done with more, but you don't have to modernise a text to make it relatable or enjoyable. Words like "gun fight", "whatevs" (SERIOUSLY..?), and dear god, the worst of them all, "LOL" was cringe-worthy as hell.
Take them away and this book was a pretty good light read.
