A review by kristine
Helen of Troy by Margaret George
3.0
This was my third attempt at reading this book.
For the most part, I enjoyed the tale being told but, to be honest, I feel this story could have been told in half the time; George's editor(s) should have had her shave at least 10 000 words off this story. The book was hard to stay with (I did walk away from it several times to read other books) and there are some very dry parts in the middle that make you BEG for the war to start just so the plot picks up.
This is one of those books you read a chapter at a time before you go to bed every night.
