AN EPIC BATTLE THAT LASTED TEN YEARS. A LEGENDARY STORY THAT HAS SURVIVED THOUSANDS.

'An inimitable retelling of the siege of Troy . . . Fry's narrative, artfully humorous and rich in detail, breathes life and contemporary relevance into these ancient tales'OBSERVER

'Stephen Fry has done it again. Well written and super storytelling' 5***** READER REVIEW
________

'Troy. The most marvellous kingdom in all the world. The Jewel of the Aegean. Glittering Ilion, the city that rose and fell not once but twice . . .'

When Helen, the beautiful Greek queen, is kidnapped by the Trojan prince Paris, the most legendary war of all time begins.

Watch in awe as a thousand ships are launched against the great city of Troy.

Feel the fury of the battleground as the Trojans stand resolutely against Greek might for an entire decade.

And witness the epic climax - the wooden horse, delivered to the city of Troy in a masterclass of deception by the Greeks . . .

In Stephen Fry's exceptional retelling of our greatest story, TROY will transport you to the depths of ancient Greece and beyond.
________


I love Greek Mythology and Stephen Fry is one of my favourite people. All through this book his voice was in my head. Brilliant retellings and underlying humour. Brilliant!

He gives us a blue Little Richard ditty for the Reagan era but minus the family-friendly innuendo and assures us that we’ll find pleasure together in these uncertain times.
Critic- Stephen Holden
Original Score: 9 out of 10

Average good vs evil flick
I wanted to like this as it's based on a series of Stephen King books, which I haven't read so can't compare. This just felt like a very average film and very predictable. A shame considering the two male leads.

Who is everyone's favourite author? Can you pick just one?

Mine is Stephen King. I'm currently in the process of collecting all of his books (made harder by the fact I can't buy new, I have to get them secondhand). I love his stories so much.

If I had to pick I would say Sarah Dessen. She writes Young Adult romance, and I have been reading her books for years.

My third Stephen king book that I've read, I found this one far more captivating than Christine. Although not as suspenseful as Misery. I read it for the topic of supernatural for my monthly book club. I felt that this was one of his more relatable books.
