Review: The Song of Achilles

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It was an interesting re-telling of a famous myth.

I Liked the way the author potrayed Achilles. It was in such a way that the hero that everyones knows, became even more human and prompt to make mistakes and being driven to reckless actions based on strong emotions.

His relationship with Patroclus was bitter-sweet. Patroclus thoughts during the whole story were filled with devotion and so many feelings that I was able to relate to his way of thinking many times.

It was a story with a known and sad ending, but the author created and interesting twist around it that was a balm to the soul.
