» PLOT «
The Odyssey details the return of Odysseus to Ithaca. The story explores the 20 year time period after the Trojan War from the perspectives of Odysseus and his son, Telemachus.

The story was good, like I said before, "a real classic".

» READABILITY «
The audiobook make this book easier to read, but overall it was an okay read.

» CHARACTERS «
The characters are great, but there are a lot of things I didn't connect with.

» WRITING «
The writing for this story was better than it was in [b:The Iliad|1371|The Iliad|Homer|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388188509l/1371._SX50_.jpg|3293141]. The story was easier to get through and far easier to understand.

However, as with [b:The Iliad|1371|The Iliad|Homer|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388188509l/1371._SX50_.jpg|3293141], there is A LOT of repetitive phrases.

» OVERALL «
This book was not as good as I remember, but this was WAY better than [b:The Iliad|1371|The Iliad|Homer|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388188509l/1371._SX50_.jpg|3293141]. I bumped it down from 4 stars to 3 stars, after this second re-read. After this second re-read, I know for sure that I won't be re-reading again.
