The Song of Achilles is a beautiful and incredibly tragic love story between lifelong friends. Madeline Miller has taken Homer's Iliad and charmingly rewrote it from Achilles’ companion Patroclus’ point of view. There are so many quotable lines such as “He is half of my soul, as the poets say”. The beginning will have you grinning, and the end will have you in tears. If you're interested in Greek Mythology you will surely love this story. -E.C. in grade 7.
