I am so close to finishing the book Troy, by Adele Geras. I usually can finish books within a couple of days, but for some reason this is taking me forever to finish! It is not like it is not interesting, or does not have a good plot, but it isn’t book that I find myself not able to put down. I like it a lot, but I would not be able to read it for hours on end.
The book takes place during the Trojan War, and in it the Greek gods are real and living. In the story, Aphrodite is sick and tired of all the fighting, and finds other means of entertaining herself. One of those means is a huge love triangle, between three best friends, one of those friends’ sisters, and a soldier that got wounded in the war. The other way of entertaining herself is messing with Helens and Paris’s relationship.
It is very scrambled, and I wish that one of the best friend (the boy) would show up in the story more. He is my very favorite character in this book, yet the problem is he only very rarely appears in the story line! Another thing that bugs me is how the gods will sometimes show up and talk to people, but after a few minutes the people that they have spoken to forget the conversation entirely, or think it was a dream. I wish that someone would remember one of these occurrences at least once.
