Reviews

Excellent Introduction


(4.5 stars)

Although it is intended for children, this recording is a great way to experience The Iliad in a fraction of the time. If you can't get enough, then go onto the full version, armed with a solid grasp of the main characters and plot points. Thanks to Lizzie Driver!

Well read thank you.

(4 stars)

It is a wonderful book, but i did hear sirens. All in all it should be a great book. I am very interested in the "Troys Present!" I like the Greeks trick. If you think this not true than you are weird or you just dont like history, but thats fine because you can think what you want. I belive it is true. You that belive that its true are smart. Yes!! Minervo is one who dosnt like history. You are out numbered 6-1. Hahahaha. Just kidding. Sorry. You can think what you want. Its fine and i dont care. hbcf btgk byiyfyjd b jcvgkifvh hvkfiyfcjtdjtfuertfukdkydkdmtd,h vfykfertv yufkyfky fuck vhguhyyjkgcdgfg,mckyfykvmckfkh,vmyckuv,hchcydthvgykvhccgsryshrxjsjtflucjxhrsrhtwfyf,skghkykjykvkdjt .cftuc,hgkydivucykfublhhk
