Review # 1 was written on 2020-06-22 00:00:00 Krystal Civil This book is an easy read despite the old language. It does a good job having the themes and main ideas obvious in the text. What I would say that I did not like was how Oedipus was very clueless and hardhead when all of the evidence and information he needed was right there in his face. I would recommend this book for AP students during the first weeks of the class, just to give them the feel for AP Lit.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-12-08 00:00:00 Mark Michaels Oedipus Rex was an interesting story to me because you don't often read about a son marrying and having kids by his own mother. For me as I continued reading it created more suspense. I always enjoy books that creates suspense for me, always leaving me guessing what's happening next. I usually don't tragic romantic stories liked this but after reading Oedipus Rex it changed my perspective on books similar to it.
