A sweeping, engrossing story
i
Outstandingly entertaining quartet of books . . . Fry breathes contemporary relevance into these ancient tales. As with his previous titles, he combines scholarly research with a lightness of touch, and his wry sense of humour and natural gift for storytelling make for a highly engaging read
Observer
Imaginative
Daily Mail
Relatable and full of humour . . . Odyssey brings [the] four-book sequence satisfyingly to a close
Guardian
The familiar narrative bounds along in a chatty style, coloured with mildly revisionist insights into the characters
Daily Mail
Accessible storytelling and Fry brings warmth, exuberance and humour. Hard to beat
Guardian
Odyssey completes his Greek Myths series in marvellous fashion. . . Fry, a born storyteller, succeeds again in making the ancient stories accessible, gently modernising the language and dotting his journey with explanatory and often amusing footnotes
Irish Independent
A head-spinning marathon of legends
Guardian
Entertaining and edifying
Telegraph
Fry is a natural storyteller and his lively retellings make for an entertaining read
Observer
Makes the stories relatable without skimping on the gory details, or sacrificing the truths of the myth. It's rich, it's funny and you'll feel like you've learned a lot
Herald
