2005-02-25 Awful rehashing of the myths, suitable for homophobes only
Do not buy this book. It is awful. It contains the most laughable retelling of a Greek myth ever known. Or at least it would be laughable, if it weren't so seriously homophobic. Consider this extract of the Narcissus myth, and ask yourself whether you REALLY want to buy such drivel. Enough said:"He blinked his eyes and looked again. It was still there - the most beautiful face that he had ever seen. As beautiful, he knew, as his own, but with a nimbus of light behind it so that the hair was blurred and looked long - like a girl's. He gazed and gazed and could not have enough of it. He knew he could look upon this face forever and still not be satisfied. He put out his hand to touch her. The water trembled and she disappeared."
