I gave up on this. I expected a fictitious retelling of the story like the other stories in the Myth Series. It’s more like a commentary and I’m just not in the mood.

I liked this book, it was interesting. Compared to another book from the myths series, “The Penelopiad”, it was a bit disappointing. It wasn’t really the story of Samson from a different angle, it was more like a story about the story of Samson. There are interesting interpretations in the book and I enjoyed Grossman’s clever remarks, but I’d be more interested in reading this story from one of the character’s view, for example.
