Review by: dlg dlg on March 08, 2013 :
These eight stories were easy reading, self standing and suitable for short periods of time. The research for the mythology inspired stories gave an interesting context to this book which otherwise could benefit from careful proofreading e.g. locations 201 fired/396 to/429 There/ 436 there/435 scrapped /437 "small crowd of sympathy and tears" /533 look /862 to/1156 use.
