No wonder it's such a beloved story, I couldn't stop listening even for a moment. I want to own a copy of this book and read it again. How vivid and atmospheric, it made me want to learn ancient Greek and go to college to study it. Absolutely adored the horrible protagonists, such flawed characters and yet it was so easy for me to love them. I'm so glad I read this book.
