I listened to Heroes: Mortals and Monsters, Quests and Adventures read by the author, which I borrowed as a audiobook from my local library. I love Stephen Fry's distinctive voice and his genuine insight and passion for the subject matter really brought Heroes to life for me.
Heroes is the 2nd book in the Mythology genre that I have read written by Stephen. I still adored and appreciated the way that the stories and myths were told, very much tongue in cheek! However, I found this one to be a denser read than Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold, with longer chapters and more mortals and gods names to learn.
I give this a 4 star review.
