 Almost all of the characters in this book are extremely hard to love, but I read it because of Emily Wilson's wonderful translation.

adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced

3.0

Its a good story, but, there are SO MANY REPETITIVE WORDS (yes, I know it's an "Epic poem") but, good grief! It's a plethora  of redundancy, for a story that I personally would have enjoyed; in a more stripped down, less poetic telling.
