review 1: One of the greatest stories ever told gets superb treatment in this graphic novel. Don't be intimidated by it's length, there is a lot of story packed into its pages and it is crisply paced- due in large part to Gareth Hind's fantastic art and deft choices of when to let the images speak for themselves instead of bogging them down with unnecessary words. A fine way to enjoy this classic if you're daunted about tackling Homer himself and a great companion to help younger students trying to digest the Odyssey for school.
review 2: I think that people should read this book because it provides a good foundation that you can build upon as you learn and read more about the Odyssey. I wonder about how long it took to discover the interpretation that she used to write... more this book. I was surprised about how detailed the pictures were and how much they helped me understand the story. Just last year me and some friends were returning from a fishing trip when our motor on the boat stopped, in the middle of the lake. The lake was so black we couldn't shore, and even though it wasn't a very large lake being stranded in it wasn't fun and when Odysseus was stranded it made me think about this experience. From reading this book I think the author views the word as a very cruel place, and that you can be one of the strongest men on this earth and still have misfortune fall upon you. less
