4.0 out of 5 stars
Very insightful on Norse mythology, but a little slow.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Edda: Prologue and Gylfaginning (Hardcover)
As someone with an interest in the Viking ways and Norse mythology I was given this book to read by a freind. Upon completion I felt almost enlightened into the Norse ways of life as well as the actual stories of the Norse Gods such as Thor, Odin, and Freyia. The enormous strenght of Thor is admirable and amazing, yet he is as honorable as one man can be. At times the reading can be a little slow but this seems to be more of a difference realized from the translation as well as the difference between 1200 AD (approx. time it was written) and today, both in familiar written form as well as over all cultural differences. Despite these factors this book is necessary reading for anyone interested in some of the more popular stories of Thor as well as the rest of Viking and Norse mythology.
