Ending of the Odyessy
I can see how this book has such a good reputation and people all over the world still read it but I really did not enjoy it. It felt like one of those movies where there would be scenes that just went on and on. I thought the characters were all pretty vague and didn't have very much description in them. Anyways I thought it was way too long and I really was not able to get into the story. There were too many long and boring scenes. As a reader I have kind of a short attention span and I like to read books with lots of story and action behind it like Vince Flynn. Going from Flynn to Homer is quite a change but it helps me get better as a reader. Honestly, the end did not have much to it and I didn't like the end because it was way too predictable. I think everyone knew that the great king was going to get back at the suitors for what they had done to him and his family, especially Penelope. I also thought it was disrespectful of Penelope to do some of the things she did because she really had lost all faith in Odyesseus.
