Ah, The Odyssey. Who doesn't know the tale of Odysseus and his journey? I found this book very enjoyable but long. Having already known the story it seemed rather drawn out sometimes. The beginning and the end were slow and dragging but the middle was very exciting and filled with adventure, in fact I did more adventuring in those 200 odd pages than I have in my entire life. The battle with the kyklops(and yes that's spelt correctly), kalypso, Kirke, and the seirenes all in their full glory. No retelling could do it justice.
I give this story 8 adventures out of 10. It was grueling at some times and it started out weird but all in all it was an excellent read.
