Book Review of The Song of Achilles

The Song of Achilles
NYbooks avatar reviewed on + 98 more book reviews


Travel back to ancient Greece. A young Greek, exiled from his father's home, eventually meets and falls in love with Achilles while also hiding their relationship

Very readable story. I was not too familiar with Greek stories so this was a good introduction.

My only complaint about this book is that: had the perspective of the story been different than what the author chose, the last few chapters would not have been so silly and out of place.

Deducted one star for that.
