Song of Achilles by Madelaine Miller

I read this : September 2012
Why: Because it is one of the books chosen for the new Waterstones Bury St Edmunds, Buttermarket branch bookclub, which starts on 20 Sept 2012.  I am already a member of the book club at the Arc branch and will try the new one as well....
What I thought of it: Well for me this was a book of 3 thirds... I really enjoyed the first 1/3 I loved the way it was written, the language, the flow of the words
The second 1/3rd I got bored I'm afraid, I ploughed through this bit, I found it by then slow and tedious (I do quite often get that 'bogged down' feeling in the middle of a book)
The third 1/3rd livened up again, I started enjoying it again and was sort of disappointed it ended...
I will be very interested to hear what other people think of it.
7/10
Have you read it? are you planning on joining the book club?
