Abi Bone’s Reviews > The Song of Achilles > Status Update

I’m shocked I never really fully clocked how many conflicts across fiction and history are all caused by fragile men desperate to fix their tiny egos. I can’t believe I wasn’t appalled by Achilles the first time I read this book, surely I was, that his damaged ego could cause so much death.

I love this book but fuck me is the war section hard to read, I simply do not care about how long it takes you by boat to get to Troy
