A pretty decent book. What attracted me to it is the Greek mythology aspect. In the book, McLaren tells the stories of the Greek characters Atalanta, Andromeda, and Psyche, and how they all got their happy endings. Also, she includes facts from actual Greek culture and (as far as I can tell) actually tells the stories of the myths instead of making up a bunch of rambling that sounds good.
There's not much else to say about the book because it was very short. And to the surprise of myself, my friends, and very few of my very small number of readers, I'm not going to harp about how each girl got to end up with the man of their dreams and how that rarely happens. After all, everyone needs their happy ending every once in a while.
This book gets a solid 4. I detracted a few more points in my head for the cliched endings, but it does happen to be mythology and I don't feel like contradicting myself yet. I'm skipping the food part of the review process because I'm too lazy. So enjoy life!
