4.0 out of 5 stars enjoyable, 4 Oct 2006
By O. Low "Oliver Low" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Mario Routi's debut novel, originally in Greek (in which language it was a best-seller), has now been translated into English by Eugenia Kollia. The book is inspired by Greek mythology and social philosophy, both subjects obviously dear to Mr. Routi's heart, and painted in his book with warmth and appreciation.
The plot moves on with alacrity and the characters, including Pegasus, a minotaur, and the two Gorgons whose sister Medusa was slain by Perseus, are colourfully drawn.
Most readers will find a lot to agree with in Mr. Routi's philosophy, which is perfectly readable and comprehensible.
The book is certainly enjoyable reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Fantasy and non Fantasy Readers, 5 Aug 2006
This book is suitable for all kind of readers. It combines many things that will please everybody. Being a fantasy reader, at first I felt a bit strange to read philosophy in an adventure book. However, I finally enjoyed it, as the balance between reality and fantasy is brilliantly kept. I would therefore highly recommend this book, especially to young adults. I believe it deserves its official reviews. I cant understand how can there be readers that criticise it, as its like trying to say that the "British Fantasy Society", "The Tolkien Society" and many others, (not to mention its thousands of readers who made it an international best seller), are idiots.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing , 4 Jul 2006
By A. Ballard "Ade5157" (Abingdon, Oxfordshire England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book with anticipation and expectation of a great read full of action and excitement. I was disappointed! admittedly I enjoyed it, but the promise of "epic battles, adventure, mystery, philosophy, all combined in a beautiful allegorical fantasy." failed to materialise.
The first 150-200 words are all philosophical ramblings of the author, attempting to push forward HIS ideals and HIS beliefs (in contrast to the underlying story that we should all be free thinking and make our own decisions).
The promises were finally delivered about half way through the book. The promised action, adventure and fantasy, finally arrived. From here on it was difficult to put the book down. I was also disappointed with the ending, expecting more 'closure' - maybe this was a deliberate ploy by the author to leave an opening for a follow up book?

If you can get through the philosophy, then it is worth reading. If not and all you want is a fantasy book with adventures and battles then I suggest you buy something else.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time
This is one of the worst books I have ever read. The pseudo-philosophy doesn't hang together and is expressed in great wodges of turgid prose; character development is little more... Read more
