Book Reviews of The Secret History
Book Review: A Literary Gem
Summary: 5 Stars
This is destined to be an assigned book in college classes that have even a peripheral connection to Ancient Greece. It will also make for a fascinating comparison of this college setting (a small Vermont campus)with that of the reader. This is a world of drugs, booze and the laxest academic requirements imaginable. Beautifully researched, with plenty of suspense and a loud ring of authenticity. It will help if you have at least a smattering of aquaintance with The Illiad.
