The name says more about this book. The Epic of Gilgamesh aside from being an epic poem is a very epic story. It has quests of great daring, fighting, a journey to the faraway and sadness; everything you need to make a good story that is fast paced and easy to read.
Unlike The Song of Roland the introduction to The Epic of Gilgamesh flowed very well and delivered the information that you need to understand the text in a way that is easy to understand and enjoyable to read. It really made me thankful that I took Ancient History in high school. It gave much more context to the information and made it so I didn't have to do any further research to understand what the author was talking about.
I give this epic 7 out of 10. It was the most enjoyable of the FYP books that I've read thus far and delivered itself in such a way that not a lot of extra though was put in to understand what was being said before comprehending what it meant. Again, I would strongly recommend reading the introduction to give context to the epic and I promise that it won't be grueling
