Reaction to The Odyssey

In general, I enjoyed the Odyssey as a book. I felt that, for the most part, it kept the reader interested in the plot and the characters. I think that learning about the gods and Greek traits was entertaining and a good mix up to what we normally do in English class. Although the book became slow and was a little long, I felt that Odysseus' story was somewhat inspiring, and if not that, pretty cool. It was good to see a real hero as the main character of the book, and find all of his heroic traits, whether obvious or not, throughout the book.
