review 1: As so many reviewers has mentioned before me, this little book is beautifully executed. Its front cover is gorgeous and the illustrations within are quirky and eye-catching. The book is organized very logically and it is easy to find the myths that you're interested in.However, that is about the only positive thing I have to say about this volume. Due to the many, many myths Rhodes has chosen, there isn't time to explore each myth fully. It all becomes very superficial and the book doesn't always feel very well-researched.Reading this also becomes very repetitive, as so many of the myths share the same origin. Wouldn't it have been better to reduce the amount of myths and then dedicate more time and more pages to each myth?
review 2: Den var ret spændende, men... more til tider også rimelig kedelig.Det er meget forskelligt, hvad der bliver fortalt om de forskellige myter, hvilket jeg fandt lidt irriterende. Nogle af dem fokuserede f.eks. meget på deres historie og oprindelse, og fortalte ikke rigtig hvad myten gik ud på, hvilket jeg savnede.Desuden var der alt for mange myter, og dermed alt for lidt plads til at kunne give en lidt dybere beskrivelse af hver enkelt myte, hvilket desværre fik det til at virke meget overfladisk.Der var dog nogle rigtig spændende myter blandt, og jeg lærte en hel del om en masse forskellige myter, så jeg kunne egentlig godt lide bogen. Det er dog nok en bog, man skal læse lidt i ad gangen - der er i hvert fald ret mange informationer, man lige skal synke, hvis man altså vil kunne huske dem. less
