Odyssey Reading

Hopefully I will be able to say what I think of the Odyssey so far, but I'm not sure how well I will be able to do that, because I am somewhat unsure of what to think of it! I think it's very interesting how it's just a long poem, and I also am interested in the way the author writes. I can't say I really like it or don't like it so far. I enjoyed reading it, I felt like it was hard to soak up all the first time, so I reread the first part, which helped. I think the whole idea of the story is kind of interesting, especially since there are all sorts of gods and creatures to make it different.

I like how everything has to do with something else. You aren't ever told anything unless it's at least somewhat important, of course, this isn't so good if you sometimes forget facts, because then you get lost and confused, which has definitely happened to me before. Hopefully I won't forget anything. I haven't read a lot of Greek myths, but I remember some things, so hopefully it will help. It does sort of make me wonder what it would be like to actually be in a myth, or go on an adventure with everything considered so differently. If you had someone powerful against you, or on your side, or even what it would be like to meet some of the creatures. I always sort of ignore picturing specific monsters in my head, but it would be terrifying to meet one of them.

Right now I have a good feeling I'll like it, but I guess I won't know for sure for a while. I think I will enjoy the plot the most, but again, I can't tell. Sometimes the names get me confused, but that happens to me in a lot of books, so I'm not too worried! I can't wait to keep reading!
