Aphrodite's Blessings: Love Stories From The Greek Myths by Clemence McLaren


This book is basically three mini-stories under one umbrella. They all have to do with teenage girls living in Greece but, they don't ever meet. As the title suggests, they are all love stories. This book was written for younger people than I. When I flipped through it at the library, the print looked tiny and the book appeared long enough, so I grabbed it. The book took me a total of 4 morning bus rides, 2 afternoon bus rides and an hour before I went to sleep. So, overall, it was an easy read.
  • Would I recommend this book? To girls from the ages of 9 to 11
  • 3.5/5
  • Would I read anything from this author again? Maybe, some of her other books looked interesting. She mostly writes historical fiction having to do with the ancient Roman/Greek time period.
  • The thing that bothered me the most: All the stories had happy endings and were easily predictable.
