Yann Martel is the author of The Life of Pi which is a book I really loved. This time I borrowed an audio book called Son Of Nobody. I was disappointed. I couldn't even finish it. The story is about the Trojan War. One side of the story is told by a goat herder's son at the time of the war. The other is told by a scholar in current times as he reads manuscripts about the war. After listening to stories from The Iliad and The Odyssey for 5 hours, listening to people getting killed with swards and javelins, I just couldn't take it anymore.
