Book Review: Stop That Bull Theseus

"Stop That Bull Theseus" is a great book for children because it has a lot of action, adventure and is very interesting.

This book is about a man who is very strong, stubborn and bullish. His name was Theseus. His goal was to slay the Minotaur with his bare hands. The Minotaur was a beast that was half man half bull. Everyone thought that the Minotaur ate people, so King Minos told the King of Athens that he had to send 14 young women and men to the island of Crete for the Minotaur to eat. Theseus kicked a man off the boat that was sailing to Crete, and he joined the crew sailing to Crete.

When the Crew got to Crete, Theseus and the crew had a party, for they thought that it would be the last day of their lives. Theseus did not. He thought that he could slay the bull and find his way out of the "Labyrinth" at the same time. But Hades told Cupid to shoot Theseus with a love arrow to make the princess of Crete fall in love with Theseus. Hades told Cupid to shoot the princess of Crete so she would give Theseus the "clew". The clew was a magical golden ball of string that the inventor of the Labyrinth used to find his way out of the labyrinth.

When Theseus finally got to the Minotaur, he figured out that the Minotaur was a vegetarian, but Theseus still wanted to slay the Minotaur with his bare hands. Both Theseus and the Minotaur wanted to kill each other.At the end of the wrestling match, Theseus and the Minotaur tied. When Theseus came out of the Labyrinth, he took a ship back to Athens to see the king. The king was waiting in his castle for Theseus. The end.

I give this book a five star review.
