George Andrews did such a good job on this edition. For that sake alone, it gets five stars.
The epic itself, as smoothly as it went down, I'd maybe give an 3.75. Can I complain about plot-holes that are almost four thousand years old? It's probably not even plot-holes so much as pieces of other stories not found yet.
I severely disliked the Sumerian poems and I can't even pinpoint why. Something to do with the pacing being so different I think.
