Pretty Much Interesting

Something this short can't be comprehensive, but it's a nice overview. Gives you just enough to spark your interest in digging deeper into Celtic mythology, and points you in the right direction for doing it.

An amazing audio book

All things considered, this is a solid effort on a large subject condensed down to less than an hour of listening, and worth the time of anyone interested in this subject. Four stars.

IMpressive Writing

There is a mountain of names of people and gods, so many names that a reader could become easily lost. However, the author has arranged the book in a sensible manner, starting with creation myths and then moving on to the main gods. With that under your belt, the book moves on to explain sources of Celtic mythology, and follows that with the ties to Christianity.

Fine Overview

This is a subject I'd never thought much about. However, when I was looking for a short read, this peaked my interest. This book is a rare gem of an introduction to the topic of Celtic myths and legends. A wonderful blend of history and story.

Excellent Book

An excellent book covering a time before recorded history. Fascinating review of a lost religion with very few relics. Anyone who watches Game of Thrones will love it.

Poor version

I have not listened to all this audio book, as I was frustrated by the poor quality of both reading and pronunciation. Most of Irish names for people and places are pronounced incorrectly, might be okay for American market, but a an Irish native I found it annoying to listen to, give this one a miss....
