Olympos (Ilium, #2)

"Helen of Troy awakes just before dawn to the sound of air raid sirens."
Hour 1 of the 37 hour-long audiobook:
Not impressed with the narrator. Another 36 hours, sigh. The Greeks are a silly lot. Glad to have made it past the first few chapters and to Hockenberry.
Hour 2... mostly bored. The gods are not much of an improvement over the Greeks.
Hour 5. Oh my goodness, another 32 hours of this... Greek gods in a SF setting really do feel silly. Especially when this inept. And Simmons� description of women is very dated. Getting used to the narrator though. Although narrating female voices or doing various characters at all is not his strength.
This is going well.
Hour 16 or so. I have lost the will to live. There are some interesting bits and bobs, but mostly I am just massively bored. Queen Mab is fun, that‘s about it. Sorry, DNF around 46%.
I would actually quite like to know where this is all headed, but there seems to be plenty of reviews out there indicating that this is not going anywhere. Fast, slow, with the help of nuclear explosions or otherwise.
