The Odyssey by Homer
2.75
adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This book had gorgeous language and the story itself was very well told. The Odyssey story itself is a very enjoyable story, but the characters make it very unpleasant. I abhor Odysseus. He is a lying, cheating, unfaithful scoundrel who only cares about his own ends and not the consequences. He is a really horrible person.
