Customer Reviews

Pretty good book!

Singer to the Sea God was a pretty good book. I had to read it for my reading comprehension class. It is partially confusing. I don't recommend anybody under middle school ages to read this book. One trilogy I recommend is The Lost years of Merlin. Those books are excellent and very addicting! Thank you for listening!

A great, Greek story!

I read this book for a third grade reading assignment at Louise Archer Elementary School. At first it was slow paced but as I got to reading it, it got very funny, adventurous, wonderous and exciting. I thought this was a great story! My favorite part was when they made it past the six-headed monster by playing a trick on her.

Good reading if you like adventure and Greek Mythology.

Would you rather be a well-fed slave with a place to sleep or a free man who knows not where he will rest or how he will eat? That is one question which crops up in this adventure story about a young boy and his companions who escape slavery only to find a harsh, superstitious world. I thoroughly enjoyed this tale and would recommend it to any middle schooler interested in Greek times and people. The characters win your affection and the story transports you back to this primitive time when men believed in oracles and the wiles of the Gods.

Really good book.

This was a really great book. I would give it a two-thumbs up for anyone who wants to read it. Of course, you have to like science-fiction, greek mythology, and not-so-fast moving plots
