rickjones 's review for:

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
2.0

Reviewing this several months after I first read it, so I don't remember details. I don't remember exactly what I disliked so much about this book when I chose to rate it two stars, yet I know I was widely disappointed by it. I was actually reading it for a book club that I decided not to attend because I didn't have anything nice to say about this title they'd chosen. There were a few lines I felt were written well, but mostly it was a dull story with unlikeable characters and heavy-handed, repetitive prose. I expected something more from the book that's been a literary darling on my side of social media for over ten years.
