Overall a really good read and completely worth purchasing a physical copy. Reminiscent of the humour I remember from A Series of Unfortunate Events (even within the back cover blurb and the inside flap description).
The writing was somewhat repetitive in word choice (the repetition of 'bewildering' was not for me), buy otherwise I loved the use of repetition in other ways.
Throughout I wished I recognized more of the literary/pop culture references, so the notes section was very helpful.

An entertaining Greek adventure. Fry is welcoming in his telling of Greek myths and doesn't assume people come into the book already knowing everything. His comedic asides and commentary were a delight.
