Mythos /Heroes by Stephen Fry

[watervole]

Heroes is well written, as you'd expect from Stephen Fry, and has some gentle touches of humour.

 

The problem is that after a while the Greek myths all start to feel the same.  You don't want to read them all in a short period of time.  They're not exactly in depth stories.

 

This is a book that I think I will dip into now and then, but having got part way through, I've no urge to finish it all in a few sittings.

3/5

I've been reading it recently and thought the same. It's very enjoyable, but you really only want to read one or two stories and then give it a break. Fry does good footnotes so it should be reasonably easy to follow "in our last exciting episode" after taking a break.

Sadly, my Kobo does not handle footnotes well...
