A review by stevebargdill
The Centaur by John Updike

5.0

This little book was, at first, difficult to get into. I am not up on my Greek myth, and Updike relies heavily upon Greek myth, but he does not leave the in the dark reader that in the dark. And though Zeus is the only god to be worshiped, simply because he is a god, the book at the same time is oddly Christian, questioning the meaning of life. Not an easy topic to cover in a few hundred pages, but Updike managed.
