   Summary: Mythology
This book, mythology by Edith Hamilton is a pretty good book for pleasure and it has pretty good information too. The only downside of this book is that it doesnt keep your intrest that well. After the introduction, most parts are exciting, but there are still a few dull parts.
This book goes through many sections of greek mythology and a bit of norse mythology at the end. At first, the book starts out with talking about the gods and goddesses and then it moves onto stories of the gods and demi gods. This is a easy to understand book that is also a lot of fun if you are looking at it from a certain point of view.

   Summary: A True Masterpiece.
I'm not going to review the contents of the book. For that,you might want to read other people's reviews.
Do you remember when you were forced to read this book in highschool? You didn't appreciate its beauty then but you will today. Why? Because this book is a masterpiece and it belongs sitting on the top shelf of everyone's library. The amount of time and work Edith Hamilton must have spent collecting these stories from various sources and putting them together is incomprehensible. She then widdles them down to some of the finest and most comprehensible overviews of Greek mythology ever written. I'm glad that I chose to revisit this book once again.
