A review by crimsonprose
Helen of Troy by Margaret George

3.0

While I wanted more from this book overall, it did engage me enough to finish within a few days. Helen was a person in this story, she was as down to earth as you can imagine the face who launched a thousand ships to be. George did a great job of telling of the gods but mostly of the people. I appreciate the picture she gave me of Paris, too, as I've never been able to understand other portrayals of him.

At the end, I felt as though I had read an entire book of this happened then that then this, very linear. Perhaps this is due to the sheer length of the book or what history knows of the story. Well researched and engaging overall.
