See the story of Theseus and the Minotaur in a whole new light!

Minos thought he could
Pull a fast one
On me, Poseidon!
God of the Sea!
But I'm the last one
On whom you
Should try such a thing.
The nerve of that guy.
The balls. The audacity.
I AM THE OCEAN!
I got capacity!
Depths! Darkness! Delphic power!
So his sweet little plan
Went big-time sour
And his wife had a son
Born with horns and a muzzle
Who ended up
In an underground puzzle.
What is it with you mortals?
You just can't seem to learn:
If you play with fire, babies,
You're gonna get burned.

Much like Lin-Manuel Miranda did in Hamilton, the New York Times best-selling author David Elliott turns a classic on its head in form and approach, updating the timeless story of Theseus and the Minotaur for a new generation. A rough, rowdy, and darkly comedic young adult retelling in verse, Bull will have listeners reevaluating one of mythology's most infamous monsters.

Not sure what happened in this book. It was interesting and very poetic. I think the poetic aspect was distracting from the story

The male reader is so good and does a good job overall delineating the different characters, although I’d still like to hear it with a full cast. The female reader is not as good and sounds like she was recorded in a cave.

The book is a lot of fun, but the tragedy is also fully developed. The variety of poetic styles used by the different characters is effective, sort of Shakespeare meets hip hop. It’s a great fit for audio.

Two horns up!

Fresh look at an ancient story . I loved the author’s take on the character of the Minotaur. The performers were spot on. I highly recommend this for teens and adults. There is a lot of bad language and subject matter that make it inappropriate for younger kids.

Love the take on the Minotaur

I wish this book were longer but it's perfect as it is -- which is another way of saying I will listen to it again.

You'll never think about Asterion, aka The Minotaur, the same way again.

Beautiful, funny, and heartbreaking

I usually try to read a book on kindle before listening on audible….. I’ve had a life long hearing problem…. So I read first in case I hear incorrectly…..

My recommendation to all you fine folks out there is….. forget that! I tried reading first and frankly got tangled up in all the poetry….

But when I LISTENED to the audiobook…. OH MAN! It shines! Give yourself a treat….. buy this puppy and laugh your way through ….. if you’re familiar with Greek mythology, you know they all die miserably in the end….. it’s WORSE than opera….. but here at least you can enjoy the show!

10 stars plus!

A surprise!
