Would you rather be a well-fed slave with a place to sleep or a free man who knows not where he will rest or how he will eat? That is one question which crops up in this adventure story about a young boy and his companions who escape slavery only to find a harsh, superstitious world. I thoroughly enjoyed this tale and would recommend it to any middle schooler interested in Greek times and people. The characters win your affection and the story transports you back to this primitive time when men believed in oracles and the wiles of the Gods.

This book got a little boring and confusing, but the end was enjoyable, suspenseful, and exciting. I don't recommend it to people under 12. It's too boring for someone younger than that age. I, 14, liked it a little. I used it as a book report book, which worked out well because the plot is very obvious.

Singer to the Sea God was a pretty good book. I had to read it for my reading comprehension class. It is partially confusing. I don't recommend anybody under middle school ages to read this book. One trilogy I recommend is The Lost years of Merlin. Those books are excellent and very addicting! Thank you for listening!

I think that singer to the sea god is not extremely fascinating, but yet, it was a okay book. Most parts of this book have had much research done on the Greeks. An example of that is when Gordian says he is good at knots that is also in another story where he ties a knot and no on except Alexander can untie it. Most reviews have said that it is a fast moving book, but i do not agree. I find it to be very historical, but I had truoble with the plot.

I read this book for a third grade reading assignment at Louise Archer Elementary School. At first it was slow paced but as I got to reading it, it got very funny, adventurous, wonderous and exciting. I thought this was a great story! My favorite part was when they made it past the six-headed monster by playing a trick on her.

This was a really great book. I would give it a two-thumbs up for anyone who wants to read it. Of course, you have to like science-fiction, greek mythology, and not-so-fast moving plots
