no???? 
 The writing was so great and easy to read, so you couldn't really go wrong. 
 Okay so I read the Iliad for college and did not like Achilles, but I remembered reading this and liking Achilles so when I reread it I was like??? How am I going to feel about Achilles this time around? 
 I loved Achilles. 
 Patroclus, though, was my favourite. I loved him so much! And when he died, I was so upset. So, So So So upset. 
 Why would you do this to me? 
 It was obviously not completely true to the Iliad, because Patroclus was written here as weaker than Achilles and a very average fighter in general. In actual fact, he wasn't this. He was obviously very strong and skilled, because he managed to fight and fool people into believing that he was actually Achilles himself! However, despite small things like this, I still loved this book, and it did set me up quite well for studying the Iliad.
