Don't Know Much About Mythology: Everything You Need to Know About the Greatest Stories in Human History but Never Learned by Kenneth C. Davis
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I downloaded this ebook as a free offering from Barnes and Noble Nook store.
I liked that this book gave me an opportunity to read the mythologies from some cultures I was not familiar; and at the same time, I disliked when Davis often lumped together too many cultures simply because they were on the same continent. I disliked the digressions made to show similarities with other cultures for the digressions slowed the pace of the narrative to the point this reader lost interest. I did not like when he classified former religions as mythologies for his tone became condesending, and maybe disrespectful.
I recommend this book for its bibliography.
