"At once a scholar's homage to The Iliad and startlingly original work of art by an incredibly talented new novelist….A book I could not put down."
—Ann Patchett


"Mary Renault lives again!" declares Emma Donoghue, author of Room, referring to The Song of Achilles, Madeline Miller's thrilling, profoundly moving, and utterly unique retelling of the legend of Achilles and the Trojan War.

A tale of gods, kings, immortal fame, and the human heart, The Song of Achilles is a dazzling literary feat that brilliantly reimagines Homer's enduring masterwork, The Iliad. An action-packed adventure, an epic love story, a marvelously conceived and executed page-turner, Miller's monumental debut novel has already earned resounding acclaim from some of contemporary fiction's brightest lights—and fans of Mary Renault, Bernard Cornwell, Steven Pressfield, and Colleen McCullough's Masters of Rome series will delight in this unforgettable journey back to ancient Greece in the Age of Heroes.

I would like your unfiltered impressions of the book.
I read a bunch of Gemmell and I'm wondering how Miller stacks up.

Sorry, I haven't read most of what I post, though I have this and other books in my 3500+ library (: I should probably post less and read more ((:

You can tell in the first 30 pages or so what this book is all about. That's about when I put it down.
