1.0 out of 5 stars Awful title for the story, awful story, May 23 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Daughter Of Troy (Mass Market Paperback)

I expected better.The title should not be Daughter of Troy, as the character is in Troy only once, and not a Trojan. All this story is Briseis going from one man's bed to another and how she likes or dislikes it. To say this is a story of any character in the Trojan War, or the tale of Troy,is wrong and although Briseis is nothing more than a war prize, the character portrayed here is quite arrogant, slutty and fond of herself, thinking every man wants to take her home. I would think the characters of Homers legend had more to think about than her. Read it if you want a sad, trashy romance novel, not if you are interested in the Trojan War or good literature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed it until the end!, Jun 8 2004

This review is from: Daughter Of Troy (Mass Market Paperback)

The story is told in such a fresh new way. It's actually a long book, and almost every page is interesting, and you read until the end, and you can't stop! This book is about a girl named Briseis and is narrated by her. She tells about her life, her brothers, parents, and the love. She had a husband, but her heart was won by Achilles. Its just a splendid historical fiction that i think everyone should be given a change to enjoy this book. I hope this author writes more books!

5.0 out of 5 stars enjoyed it very much, Jun 2 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Daughter Of Troy (Mass Market Paperback)

I really liked the book. It's historical fiction, so there is a lot of what is going on around the time of the Trojan War and before that. It's narrated by Bresies, and she is Achilles prize. It's basically everything from her point of veiw, from when she's around thirteen years old. You'll find out how they lived, what they did, and what kind of life it was. Also, there is a great love story, and just an all together well written book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, but not great
I bought this thinking that a novel told from the POV of Briseis would be an interesting read. I was half right. Read more
