This book is essentially all poetry.

This book is essentially all poetry. It was ok, just not a good fit for me.

It is from ancient Greece and Rome time-frame in history so the phrasing is of that era, which tends to grate on my senses after a time.

The narrator was good. There were good expressions and emphasis of sounds and words. I had a poetry section in my theatre class and it is a lot harder than you might think. You have little amounts of words to create something spectacular.
