"This book is an interesting and relevant way to look at the story of the Trojan War. The newspaper clippings are interesting on their own but also work to reinforce the theme that the events/emotions that occur in the story are plausible and even occur today. Some prior knowledge of the story and surrounding culture is helpful, as many characters, gods as well as mortals, are introduced, but it is not necessary."
"The story of the Trojan War and it goes along with newspaper clippings from United States newspapers. Short book to read. Guys would probably like this book more than girls. I was bored reading it, but the newspaper clipping kept me wanting to read more."
"Dateline: Troy tells two stories-- the epic tale of the Trojan War alongside newspaper clippings, which reinforce that many of the themes that plagued the ancient Greeks-- war, love, betrayal, heroism, are still around today.
Groundbreaking in its design in 1996, Fleischman's newspaper collages seem out of date and unappealing to look at now. It took him years to collect all of the headlines and articles that supported his theme back then, I wonder how much better Dateline Troy would look if he wrote it today.
I could not even decide on a genre-- choosing traditional literature for the Greek history/mythology angle."
