It’s interesting. I like how big the minotaur was and how brave Theseus was.

The best thing about the book was seeing the Minotaur. I’d definitely recommend it to other people!

Theseus was my favourite character. My least favourite character was King Aegeus.

It was sad because the King jumped into the water and died. I liked it when Theseus defeated the Minotaur. I would recommend it to my friends.

I liked Theseus because he was brave and strong. It interested me because it had a cool adventure story linked to it and a cover that glued me into it.I would definitely recommend this book for another child like me.

This book told me about the Greek Myths about the Minotaur. I found it interesting and it wasn’t too hard.

I thought it was great because my sister has a Greek myths book so I'm very happy I could now read a Greek myths book. My favorite character was a little boy who used red string while running through a maze.

It was exciting. Some of the Greek words were tricky, but I liked how they helped you say them.

It was a good book. It was fictional. My favorite character is Theseus. Yes to everyone even to beginners.

When Theseus' Dad fell in the water and Theseus never get to see him again and also in the beginning theseus's dad told the sailor to change it to fly white sails if Theseus survives. Also at the end a girl tells Theseus to marry her and when he went the girl was crying and she calls a God Dionysus. in the end they dont put the white sail on. Its a fiction.

I thought this book was sorrowful because although a boy killed the monster he breaks a promise and his father dies.
