Review of 'Mythos' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

Stephen Fry’s Mythos was interesting because I’d never studied greek mythology before, and it was an okay introduction to it. I found it a bit of a slow going, something about milllenia-old stories not having all the hooks of a modern page-turner. But it was interesting connecting the dots on concepts that trace back all the way back.

3 stars

Although the book is nice enough to read - you can't go wrong with Greek mythology as far as I'm concerned - and Fry's style is very witty, I feel there is something missing in this book. It's just a collection of stories: I feel that if there would have been a coherent story line, the book would've been much more enjoyable.
