review 1: Author Brad Herzog recently turned 40 and is journeying without his wife and kids in a Winnebago from Seattle, WA to Cornell, NY for his 20-year college reunion. He travels from town to town in search of the modern-day hero, paralleling the Iliad and the Odyssey and their stories of Greek mythology heros. It is not an exciting can't-wait-to-turn-the-page read as he meets and discovers both interesting and uninteresting people while on his journey. As my 2 rating indicates, it was ok.
review 2: This book was a very enjoyable read. The author melded facets of Homer's Odyssey and Greek mythology into observations of lives and experiences on his trek across the States, touching on places, towns and people that just happened to have some connection to the Odysse... morey, if only in name. On more than a few occasions, I would be left to ponder broader ramifications. I can't ask for more than that. less
