The song of Achilles

The song of Achilles/Madeline Miller 378 pgs.

This book helped make clear to me my ignorance of Greek mythology.  I had not been under the impression that I had any expertise in the area but have never desired it either.  As, I assume, everyone else knows the basic story, I can summarize this book  as the love story between Achilles and Patroclus with a little Trojan war mixed in.  It is well written but this just isn't the type of book that I enjoy.
