The Story Of Gilgamesh by Yiyun Li – review

Hetty99: 'Gripped from page one, I found it impossible to put down'
  
  


The Story Of Gilgamesh is an immortal story of friendship. Gripped from page one, I found it impossible to put down, despite it being so different from what I usually read.

King Gilgamesh of Uruk is a brave and mighty warier - in his own opinion. Enkidu is a wild, intrepid soldier, and together they are an invincible team, capable of conquering the world. And to conquer the world, you must first make a name for yourself.

This is why Gilgamesh and his intimate and devoted companion travel through the forbidden forest, risking their lives in an apprehensive attempt to defeat the cruel monster Humbaba...

When furiously battling a menacing monster does not go to plan, Gilgamesh is suddenly faced with a life-determining decision. Should he choose friendship, or should he choose the fame and fortune his heart yearns for?

This is a timeless and heartwarming story - it would be an interesting read for people of all ages.
