Title: Well...
Review: I had to read this for my AP English class and I probably wouldn't have continued to read it after the first couple of pages if it hadn't been required.While this is a very well written book, conducted in an entertaining but also informative method, it tended to be a bit boring. The names of the Gods and Goddesses seemed to be innumberable and impossible to pronounce unless you've had some previous learning of the Greeks or Romans. Furthermore, since it was difficult to find out how to say their names, it made it difficult to remember them!However, a few of the stories were fun to read, and other were humorous. Also, the stories were written with simplicity; it would be feasible for a middle-schooler to read just as it would be for high-school and beyond.As far as mythology goes, and to it's inherent barrier of excitement, Hamilton did well.
