Circe by Madeline Miller

Circe by Madeline Miller
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I'm torn on this one.

On one hand I want to tell people to run away screaming from this book. On the other I found it an entertaining read.

It seemed like all the good stuff happened outside of the book and we only got to hear about them. Instead of reading about battles we got to read about Circe turning men into pigs. It kind of felt like I was sitting at the lame kid's table while staring longingly at the cool kid's table.

I didn't find Circe likable. I know she's a god but I still can't think of a good reason to do the things she did. She was a bitch.

I had some problems with the language. It was narrative style so a lot of stuff was described, and rather simply too.

It was an entertaining, it wasn't a chore to read but I wasn't excited about reading it either.
