mizzlroy 's review for:

Heroes of Olympus by Philip Freeman
2.0

This book is a bit dry and leaves out all the juicy parts of Greek mythology (which is a HUGE part of Greek mythology), but it is informative and would be good for someone interested in Greek mythology. The images help a bit, but the stories themselves simply feel “dumbed down” to fit a younger audience. I would purchase it because it is informative, but I doubt any student would read it cover to cover. It would be used more as a source for research on a certain god or legend.
