This book had some good results. It had great illustrations, with killer details. It described everything well. It was very easy to read so I wasn’t struggling. The best thing about this book is that it was a famous Greek Myth that was turned into a E-book and so that’s something special about this book, because it is said that the Romans used Greek Myths to explain the morales of Earth. I recommend this book to anyone who has a quick 10 miutes on the internet.

I absolutely love the Greek Myths, and especially this one. I like how in this book anybody could read it beacuase it was really easy because of the book’s short length. I love the illustrations of this book too! This book reall took “flight”.
