A review by carlylottsofbookz
Helen of Troy by Margaret George
2.0
I honestly can decide if this should be a 1 or 2 star book. Anything beyond that would be far too much, of course.
I read this book because it was a gift, and because I felt compelled to. It is very hard for me to put down a book--even if it's bad.
There were good moments in this book, and it is obvious to me that George researched several Greek myths. It was bought for me because I like Greek mythology...that being said, this was not a book that grabbed my attention. Perhaps it is a book for those who don't know/love the stories of the ancient Greece...whatever it is, this book was simply not for me.
There is no reason this book needed to be this long. It wasn't hard to read, just incredibly slow, and very boring at times.
