Title: how can they have been so stupid?
Review: I absolutely loved Margaret George's first (?) book, "The Autobiography of Henry VIII" and also applauded "The Memoirs of Cleopatra", but I am beginning to think she had only one good book in her. I have read all the others and was disappointed in each. In order to finish "Helen of Troy" (for a book review) I had to skim mightily through the final 200 pages. How could these Trojans have been so stupid? They couldn't recognize the spy among them even though the reader does early on? They REALLY thought the wooden horse was a gift and not a trap? Oh, please.Helen and Paris are self-aggrandizing, spoiled children who care only for themselves. I wanted to slap her as soon as she stepped on the ship to Troy. Don't waste your time on this one, there are far too many much better historical fiction books to read. Try all of Beverly Swerling's work. They are exceptionally fine.
