Summary: An amazing tale
Comment: The Odyssey is an amazing tale of the travels of Odysseus and his crew after the Trojan War. His encounters with the Cyclops, sea monsters, Sirens, Gods, and ghosts create a tale larger than life. Mr. Rouse does an amazing job of translating the tale in a way that flows well and reads easily. My only complaint of this classic is the ending... in 1 1/2 pages things go from nearly a civil war to peace. It appears almost as if homer had not finished the tale before his death, and someone else added the ending just to finish the book. Aside from the ending, the entire book is a masterpiece of ancient literature.

Summary: Epic Journey
Comment: The Odyssey was probably the best book I have ever read. I first read this epic poem as a freshman in high school, and have read it many times after that. The epic journey by Homer captures the journey through life and its obstacles. Odysseus is main character that must journey to find his way home after the victorious battle of Troy. Odysseus has to overcome many obstacles that lie in his path to return home.
In life we also face obstacles that limit our ability. To overcome each different obstacle, one must use strength, mind, and perseverance to move on and succeed in life.
Odysseus overcame these obstacles by problem solving and thinking ahead. The Odyssey really captures the essences of life lessons through out time. The book was excellent. I mean where else can you find bloody battles, passionate love scenes, giant maelstroms, and the occasional six-headed monster.
I recommend this book to any reader, whether in High School, College, or just the average reader. The Odyssey is a definite classic.
