I’m in the middle of reading “Troy” which I bought to refresh my knowledge of the so-called Trojan War and to enjoy Stephen Fry’s inimitable style and sense of humour. I’m not disappointed on either count. With its mixture of the erudite, the tragic and the often hilarious, “Troy” is proving to be one of this gloomy year’s best reads for me.

After reading ‘Mythos’ and ‘Heroes’, expectations were high for this one and again, Stephen delivered. As with his other books on myths, a joy to read and reread.

BOOK DAMAGED
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 October 2020Verified Purchase
I’m so upset - I’ve just opened my parcel and my book is damaged. The corners are ruined and there’s a large scratch/scrape mark across the back cover.

Just got my book on launching date and this is how it came like. Disappointed that it’s not like the other Mythos and Heroes editions with dust cover and better made. I can get books in better conditions in my local charity shop. Do not recommend.

5 STARS! Stephen Fry is our modern day Homer!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 November 2020Verified Purchase
I was waiting for this book ever since I finished Heroes, the second book in the series. Troy is my favourite subject to read about since it is full of great myths, stories, heroes, villains, sorrow, pain, lust and love. I knew Stephen Fry would do a great job at retelling the greatest story of all times. And he did a brilliant job! This book goes back to the beginning of Troy and takes us on a journey from there to the end, the end of Troy, the end of honour and the end of a great era. We get to know Hector, Achilles, their parents, Paris, Helen and where they came from and how the Olympians interfered with their lives. I am still shocked how the destiny and fate shaped the fall of Troy from such an early stage. This book is not a heavy read. It is very enjoyable, but you still learn a lot more about Troy. I was laughing, feeling sad, annoyed, angry and happy at the same time whilst reading this. I feel lucky and blessed to have read Stephen Fry’s retelling of the greatest story of all times. I hope he will continue retelling the Greek myths and other historical events, because his style is funny, informative and respectful. He never tries to interpret the story, never tries to shape it into something else and the retelling never feels pretentious at any point. This was brilliant. I bought it the day it was published and finished it in three sittings. I love Stephen Fry and cannot recommend this book enough. 5 GOLDEN STARS!

Review not based on content but condition received.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 October 2020Verified Purchase
Delivered in a poor condition. Book was damaged and without the protective sleeve that the previous two books had. Review not based on the content but on the quality of the book received. Pretty disappointed as I have waited for this book since it was announced. Hope the next one I receive is better.

Poor Quality Hardback
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 October 2020Verified Purchase
Review of the quality of the physical book received on release date, not of the written content.
The type of hardback was not of the same quality of the previous publications: Mythos and Heroes. I'm not sure what type of hardback this would be called in the publishing industry but it does not include a dust jacket.
Additionally, the edges of the book delivered looked knocked and tired. It appears uncared for prior to delivery.
