I have yet to finish this version of the Iliad, however I must say that this rewrite of the masterpiece by Homer is very good. To Homer aficionado's I think that you should read this book and at least try to enjoy the way that Barry B. Powell saw fit to show the world his vision of the Trojan downfall, However be prepared to sit alone while you enjoy this wonderfully new outtake on the Iliad because it is best read alone without constant distractions to take away from the joy of reading a modern interpretation of an all time classic and a beautifully written epic, which will as long as humanity retains any sense of intelligence and understands the value of beautifully written literature will never be forgotten.
