The Odyssey

In my opinion, the Odyssey was an OK book, I'm sure I would appreciate the book much more if I were a different type of person but I personally don't like this kind of book because it is kind of long and hard to comprehend oh and it repeats itself. A few things that I did like about this book were, I liked the characters especially Odysseus because he has a cool life and it amazes me to know that he built a raft in four days and also swam for two full days. That is Michael Phelps times at least three. Another thing I seemed to have some interest in when reading it was the landscape, I appreciated the landscape because I think the landscape is a very important part of the Odyssey. A few thing I did not like about the Odyssey were, I did not like when the book would repeat itself. I didn't like this because to me it's a waste of time, well not entirely... Another thing I didn't like was the language. The language was very hard to read let alone comprehend, personally I don't like to read 15 pages if hard language and then not understand it entirely.
