Helen The First Trojan Horse edition by Michael Lally Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Outstanding, I never looked at the Trojan War in this way, the various characters were very easy to relate to. I felt it was easy to read and look forward to more from this author.
With my interest in mythology and my 2011 trip to Turkey wherein I saw a huge model of the Trojan Horse, I prepared myself to really love this book. The research is commendable and the concept was interesting but unfortunately, the characters, writing style and pacing made it a very tedious and irksome read.

Imagine Helen an unwilling captive of Paris. Goes against just about everything we've read about the Trojan War. Well, this book gives a unique perspective of the war. We hear Helen's point of view. Not just the war, but her life leading up to and after the war.
I've always imagined Helen to be a somewhat empty headed, silly individual. This book portrays her as a capable, strong woman who helps her countrymen every way she can.
The author, Michael Lally, must have done an immense amount of research before writing this book. He's managed to portray many of the characters exactly as I imagined them to be, ie Agammemnon, Clytemnestra, Hector. All of the favorites from Homer's epic are here. Some are not so likable.
I found this be a very enjoyable book. 4/5 stars
I was given an advanced copy of this book to read and provide an honest review. I love historical fiction, so this book was right down my alley. I loved reading about Helen from a different perspective - hers. There is a little literary licence here in the story telling, but wow what a great read. The story starts with a young Helen, already a great beauty, who is abducted from her home. She is rescued and returned to her family, at which point her father believes marriage will stop future abduction attempts. But Helen loves Menelaus, brother of Agamemnon and secretly hopes he will put himself forth as a suitor. Helen's crafty father makes all the suitors swear an oath to uphold Helen and Menelaus's marriage. Tales of Helen's beauty continue to bring men to Sparta after she marries and takes the crown after her father dies. She agrees to a plot with Agamemnon to leave with Paris of Troy who is intending to wage war on Sparta and abduct her. By professing her love for him and leaving, Agamemnon, Menelaus and all the Greek nobility sworn to defend their marriage take the war to Troy, instead of Spartan soil. Clever? The war raged for years and many lives were lost, including Archilles. Eventually Troy falls as we know from history. What is really interesting in this book is what happens after Helen and Menelaus leave Troy and return home. The story is well told and it grips you quite quickly, even though you know what is going to happen. Loved it.
I liked the way the story was told by combining fact and myth. It was a interesting and provocative book on a old story.
Mr. Lally put and interesting twist on the classic story of Helen of Troy. His mixing in of historical figures along with fictional characters was very creative. I recommend to anyone looking for a different approach to the classic.
I really enjoyed the book. The author really made the characters come to life with the dialogue. We definitely get more insight into Helen's character, her past and her rationale for her involvement in the war. It was great to get a refresher course on the Trojan War and I'm inspired now to re-read The Odyssey.
One of the best story's about the trojan war yet. It was very entertaining and I would recommend it to anyone who is in to
Historical fiction
