Perhaps not as good as Mythos, but highly enjoyable nonetheless... very much looking forward to the final chapter in Mr Fry’s great retelling of Ancient Greek myths and legends. It’s a 4.5 out of 5 for me.

Wasn’t too crazy about this edition, though... difficult to read and illustrations could’ve been placed better.

Though the lightheartedness of the narrative does not align with my personal sense of humour, I really appreciate Fry's attempt in making the stories simple and funny.

"Heroes" focuses on 8 heroic characters – Perseus, Heracles, Bellerophon, Orpheus, Jason, Atalanta, Oedipus, and Theseus. It is easy for people of any age to understand and enjoy. If you are into fun storytelling mixed with some murmuring of the author, you would find the tweaks in conversations making the dialogues more witty and interesting.

I definitely recommend this book for those interested in Greek mythology but probably not too seriously so.

(Sidenote: The “copyrighted” watermarks are not opaque enough, resulting in reading difficulties.)

To my utter dismay this book is only being offered as a PDF, and I can only read it as a Kindle file. I adore Stephen Fry and was totally looking forward to reading this fascinating book with its interesting topic. I was wondering if there is any way it could be turned into a Kindle file at all?

I have been unable to read as this is not in a format I can read on my device - am so disappointed

I needed to have this in kindle format to be able to read and review so have been unable to this on this occasion
