The Memoir of the Minotaur is the posthumous confessions of the half-man, half-bull of Crete, as offered to an audience of recently deceased 21st-century fellow souls in Hades’ domain. This book is a satire for listeners unafraid of a rollicking good tale involving anatomically complex beings, unforgivable puns, the champion serial killer of all time, scantily clad Greek maidens and youths, articulate tyrants, and feminist proto-history leavened with theological impertinence.

A satire take on the minotaur myth
Revisado: 01-13-21
The book just wasn't completely my cup of tea. I enjoyed the satire of the story though. The story is in the words of a minotaur half-man, half-bull and how he is sent into the Labyrinth after defending himself but coming out looking like a monster who people now fear. It is an interesting take on a classic story. I did like the take on the story where it shows how our animalistic insists when pressured can come out to survive. If you don't mind gore and a lot of talk about sex and want to think about the outcome of the story for days this book is right up your alley. The writer definitely makes you think with his take on this story with his puns, humor and thoughtful take of this myth.

Sir John Penlyon is planning to spend Christmas at his estate with his niece and his friend Danby, the closest thing he has to family since disowning his daughter years ago. (She eloped with the parson, who was, of course, penniless.) Danby suggests that at Christmastime the estate needs the presence of small children, and offers to find some - the “hirelings” - despite Sir John’s skepticism. Three children duly arrive, and the youngest, precocious four year-old Moppet, quickly endears herself to Sir John.

A cute Christmas story

A cute story about a broken family that reconnects at Christmas through being tricked! Loved how the children bring him back to life to a loving man
