Oddysey

In my opinion, the Odyssey just is not a very good novel. Even though it is supposed to be history I just don’t find it believable or entertaining. Well I shouldn't say that because the idea of the story is really good however, I find the length of it and the fact that we have to skip chapters just to get through it makes it less appealing to me. The parts I have enjoyed about the Odyssey were the scene with Polyphemus because it’s funny how Odysseus tricks him into thinking his name is nobody so When Odysseus blinds Polyphemus he cries out "I've been blinded by nobody!!!" That was tight. The summaries I do enjoy It's just the real book that seems too long and drawn out. First of all they repeat the same stuff over and over again and don’t even use different adjectives. I realize that it was a long time ago and the story was so long that people zoned out a lot but I think they could have cut it down for the actually printed version at least a little. That is my basic opinion on the Odyssey.
