"I enjoy Greek mythology so I wanted to check this out when I heard of it. I enjoyed the artwork and stories, read the whole thing in about two days. The stories got a bit confusing at times because there are so many names to keep track of, I wish there was a better family tree or chart."

    " The stories were heavily edited for a child audience, but I still gave it a 4-star rating because of the beautiful illustrations. There's just something about the artwork that really appeals to me and it was a plus that there are nearly as many pictures as there are pages of text. "

    " This may be my favorite children's treasury of Greek Mythology to date. It has really cool illustrations, the stories are told in an interesting manor and are easy to understand, and at the back it even has a guide to the stars and constellations. "

    " The only thing that saves this from getting only one star is the fabulous illustrations. The text is terrible, poorly researched, biased and down right infuriating. What a waste of such wonderful illustrations! "

    " Gorgeous illustrations and very accessible introduction to mythology but the stories seem to lose a little of their edge and depth in this style. Not being an educator, I am not sure what age kids this is best suited for but I have a feeling it is a good place to start for younger readers. "

    " Fabulous - this is fabulous. The writing is outstanding and the illustrations outstanding. This is a new classic "journey" a little down the page - amazing that it slipped thru in a book of such otherwise obvious quality. "
