Loved Fry’s take on the classics! Troy is engaging and accessible. Though it felt a bit rushed in places, the key moments were captured perfectly. I read this book in a day.

While Fry’s humor is present, it occasionally feels forced. The story is compelling, but this version lacks the emotional impact I was hoping for. I did enjoy the ending.

I wanted to love this, but the humor felt out of place at times. The narrative is engaging, but lacks emotional depth. It’s alright.

Fry’s wit shines, but the constant quips sometimes undermine the gravitas of the story. Still, a fun read. Helen gets kidnapped and the whole world suffers. I wish there was less comedy.
