jaepingsu 's review for:

The Iliad by Homer
3.0

While this was difficult at times (like the 10-page long passages that list the names of soldiers or their deaths, one after another), it was definitely worth the effort it took to read it. The Lattimore translation is very poetic and beautiful at times, even when the poet is describing stabbing someone in the eye. I can't say I loved it, but I'm definitely glad it to finally have read it.
