ingerlisa 's review for:

The Odyssey by Homer
3.0

I will now be dropping into every conversation that I have in fact read the Odyssey.



➥ The Odyssey, the book that is 300 pages long but feels 3,000 pages long?

➥ The Odyssey, the book that all they do is rub themselves with olive oil?

➥ The Odyssey, the book that uses 5,000 words to say something that could be said in 30?

Oh yes, these are all ways that I would describe this book and yet I totally get why it has retained it's classic status. It is written in a way that books just aren't written anymore and although it is beautiful it is also really F-ing boring....
