Title: One word: blah
Product review: If you're unfamiliar with the various stories surrounding the ancestors and players in The Trojan War, you might find this book a readable aggregator of the characters and myths. I ended up skimming most of it because I knew the myths and Clarke added nothing new to the story. This book seemed the antithesis of Gemmell, who completely rewrote the War and well-known characters in a way that almost parodied itself and had me nearly throwing it against the wall in fury. Clarke is very conservative and, IMO, unimaginative. Hoping to find something in the happy middle one of these days.
