“Much better than the Illiad, this one actually moved the plot along at a reasonible pace. This book will only be good however, if you are not exspecting something like our modern day lit. It is a classic for a reason and nobody talks like that or writes like that anymore--I doubt people could if they tried. It will be dry the first little bit, but as you get used to the style you don't notice it as much. Also, keep track of the timeline as you go along, it jumps a bit, but all in all a very good book. Liturature class could do much worse.”

Yes | No“Again, probably a classic but I had to read it at uni as part of an ancient history course - it's supposed to be an adventure story, but I found it really repetitive and pretty slow. I was so bored I bought a tape and listened to it instead just to try and get through it a bit quicker.
I should probably give it another chance - but probably not this side of 2040!”
“I really got into the story. I have to say I wanted to meet penolope she sounded like a wonderful woman who could make you fall in love with her.”
