"Didn't finish the story"

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I would have loved the story if it had all been there. The only reason I marked one star is because thats the lowest it goes.

What was most disappointing about Homer and Stephen Mitchell (translator) ’s story?

They didn't finish. The book stopped at Hector's burial. Nothing was there about taking Troy or the Trojan Horse. Immensely disappointing.

What about Alfred Molina’s performance did you like?

Great

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Lots, would have more if the story went to completion

Any additional comments?

Yes put the rest of the story in it. This may be my last purchase from Audible.
