davemeister28 's review for:
Mythology
by Edith Hamilton
An excellent primer for the person who's interested in Greek mythology. All of the major stories and myths are included here, and very many of the minor ones. The organization and pacing is good. Sensible and with a nice flow. The material is also highly entertaining; Hamilton puts the stories together with an obvious passion that is infectious. The audiobook performance is done well, also.
My only objection to the book would be the claim that it covers Norse mythology--40 minutes of the 13+ hour audio book does not scratch the surface of that rich mythos. So if you're a Norse fan like me, you might be disappointed. Regardless, this book is a must-read for anyone with any interest in Greek mythology.
