CountStex finished reading Mythos by Stephen Fry
Fry excels in this modern take on the tales of ancient Greece. I've read many of Fry's fictional tales and wasn't sure how that would translate to this format, but I needn't have worried. His wit and humour carry through lovingly and make this a quick and joyful read.

A truly charming tale that kept me intrigued the entire time. Though a child of the 70s as opposed to the 60s I still saw enough in the joy of my childhood in Neil's world that the world touched my soul in wonderful ways.
