Revisited it now as an adult and though it’s a moving story with beautiful writing at times, I was thrown off by the amount of fathobia. It’s much in the context of kids being cruel to each other but it was unexpected and went unchallenged. Other than that I really enjoyed it  now and as a child even though it punched me in the gut when I first read it.

liked it the first time. After reading more of the author’s academic work on ancient Greek culture I come back loving and appreciating it even more. Cried both times

Some poems I absolutely loved and will cherish but some made me want to rip the book apart. 

Also warning for outdated offensive language at times and a weird attitude to women
