A lot funnier than I expected. I found myself telling my wife several lines from the book. I don't feel properly equipped to fully review this one. I plan to return to it with a reread eventually. Feels nice to cross it off the bucket list.

Ugh. I never wished more for a book to end, than this one. It didn't start to pick up until the last chapter after 27 hours of listening to it. *sigh

It's bored, extremely lengthy and tells absolutely nothing,
a story that did not deserve to be told in more than 100 pages.
and for its lovers: It is fallacious to say that imitating The Odyssey has merit.
At best, it’is an academic exercise.
