Really good

Very nicely written with great pictures. Evslin turns a tale of monster into a great jouvenile fiction which will amaze anyone who reads the book

A darn good episode in the phenomenal series

This is, as are all the books in the *Monsters of Mythology* series, an awe-inspiring tale told beautifully in Evslin's rich voice meant for storytelling. He brings to life all the ancient tales of classical myth. All his works are filled with that wonder, that marvel at the vastness of the culture from which the story originated. Granted, I think this series should be meant for a higher reading level, as there are complex threads running beneath the tale, concepts of morality and honour that youngers won't understand. Such great talent and fine tale-spinning should not be wasted on an uncomprehending audience. I love this series. I love every story and I love Evslin's style and I love the world of myth.

Beautiful and well-written

A wonderful introduction to mythology
