Lincoln in the Bardo

George Saunders | 2017 | Fiction & Poetry

8.3

(6 Ratings)

Book Rating

Lincoln in the Bardo is an incredible first novel from a master of the short fiction format. The shared narration is reminiscent of a Greek chorus or a conversation, rendered on the page like the script of a play.

Critic- Melissa Ward
Original Score- 5 out of 5

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2352 KP) rated The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #4) in Books

Percy and his friends must travel through the ever changing labyrinth of Daedalus to try to save their camp. The action and use of Greek myth was still fun, but it felt very formulaic after reading the first three in the series.

Betty Fussell recommended The Odyssey in Books (curated)

"In my 30s I tried to teach myself classical Greek so I could read Homer and Sophocles. Of course I failed because their words were mouthed not read. But the stories Homer retold of the fall of empires and the longing for home are as vivid today as a thousand years ago. From him I learned why I love grilled meats."
