The Songs of the Kings Audiobook (Unabridged)

" About the weeks before the Greeks sail for Troy and the sacrifice of Iphigeneia. Well-imagined, but not great. "

" not a great book, but a fun read. "

" I am much too much of a Homeric purist to really love this, but I didn't completely hate it either. "

" fascinating re-telling of the Iliad. "

" More Unsworth genius. A captivating read. "

" I really liked all the Greek stories (thanks to high school enlish and Crystle Martin). This was an interesting re-telling of the pre-illiad period. "

" Really enjoyable re-telling of the story of Iphigeneia. As a classics geek, I really liked it. "

" i just love this guy's work. he writes historical fiction with an englishman's eye for wit and you really care about the characters. there's always a great plot to drag you along, too. this one is no exception. "

" Political Satire of George W. and Congresses decision to start the war on terrorism couched in Greek mythology. Awseome! "

" I had to read this for school. It's the same story of Iphigeneia told in more modern language. I was entertained while reading it. If I absolutely have to study this particular Greek play, then this is the one to read. "

" Expands on the sacrifice of Iphigemeneia, and treats it like a political pot-boiler. Gives a sort of creation myth for propaganda and media relations. Perhaps a bit facile, but I was really intrigued, and I liked the clean prose. "
