Since this is a reference type book, I'm marking it read and will only refer to it when I want to know about something. Small type. Close spaced. It would be a nightmare to 'read'. As a reference, it will be good though. I read some of it and it is interesting. Tells you all about stuff.
So, if you want to know something about myth's and all that stuff, let me know.

The writer Michael Stapleton is an excellent writer and has written books about various cultures Mythologies. My favorite parts of the book were when he was describing the events and heroic deeds some of the characters such as Hercules or Perseus preformed. Very enjoyable if you are interested in Greek Mythology or Roman because, the author adds all of the story and even background for the story being told. The characters are from Greek and Roman Mythology. It is interesting to know that at one point people worshipped these gods, but nowadays people do not worship these gods/goddesses. This is also an amazing book if you are interested in learning about Greek or Roman Mythology. Overall a very good book, and is enjoyable and easy understood.
