Book II from Aeneid was a very long and dragged out story in my perspective. I believe I would've enjoyed this story a lot more if it wasn't all over the place. While reading I found myself getting easily lost wondering what just happened. I understand that this was during the time of the Trojan War and a lot was going on, but it made for a difficult read. I did enjoy hearing about how the Greek's built this wooden horse to hide soldiers in because they were losing the war. It showed great thought in part of the Greeks. I also enjoyed how they portrayed the image of slaying a bull at the altar. It gave great imagery and painted a good picture in my head. (127)
