Reviews for The Glorious Adventure

Review - Glorious Adventure, The

Fun, interesting, and it gave me a good review of the Iliad and Odyssey without me having to reread those dreadfully boring books. Of course, with Halliburton, it's hard to know exactly what's true and what's embellishment, but still fun.
