Thanks to its stylistic choice, even though it’s labeled as so 400 pages, it actually goes by much faster, and unfortunately in this book's case, that's a good thing.

I feel I personally would have been much more invested if the narration was condensed some. There are a lot of viewpoints in this book, which I understand is the gimmick, but with having so many tones attempted (even though many sound the same if not identical, just with different names and relationships to Hercules), there just isn't enough chance to empathise with the characters. Big scenes that should have been heart wrenching fall flat, feel as though they're played off too quickly. Hercules is a tragedy in most senses with how much he loses, but here you never really get to feel the full weight of that until perhaps the end if you're able to sit it through. 

I very much liked the exploration of Hercules and his lovers, the most invested I was was when they were telling the story. They had so much emotional weight and unique perspectives on Herc. And then the perspective changes a chapter later and it's hard to keep up. 

In fairness to the author, it was ambitious to tackle all of Hercules when his myths spread so far and so vastly. The idea of telling his story from outside perspectives too was creative and in theory offered a fresh take on the hero's endeavors. With such a comedic tone and modern slang thrown in for good measure, it makes for a jarring read.

I don't know who I would recommend this book to, but if you are dead set on reading it I will say the ending does at least feel like it was earned, and you'll get a beautiful two chapters from some of the earliest narrators.
