"Gareth Hinds brings THE ODYSSEY to life in a masterful blend of art and storytelling. Vivid and exciting, this graphic novel is a worthy new interpretation of Homer’s epic."
—Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series
Fresh from his triumphs in the Trojan War, Odysseus, King of Ithaca, wants nothing more than to return home to his family. Instead, he offends the sea god, Poseidon, who dooms him to years of shipwreck and wandering. Battling man-eating monsters, violent storms, and the supernatural seductions of sirens and sorceresses, Odysseus will need all his strength and cunning—and a little help from Mount Olympus—to make his way home and seize his kingdom from the schemers who seek to wed his queen and usurp his throne. Award-winning graphic artist Gareth Hinds masterfully reinterprets a story of heroism, adventure, and high action that has been told and retold for more than 2,500 years—though never quite like this.

The odyssey is testing my reading skills with complicated words but it seems like it’s going to be a good book because I’m only at like page 32 but seams like its going to be a pretty fast pace book so .
ReplyDeleteHave you heard any of the legends or phrases in the Odyssey before reading it? This is often considered one of the greatest stories ever written, and references to the Odyssey pop up more often than you might think.
ReplyDeleteNo i have not.
DeleteI haven't red much more but its still seams like a good book.
ReplyDeleteWould you enjoy it more if there were simpler words? Would you read it at all if there was only words and not pictures? I didn't like it, in fact, I hated it. I would never read it again even if I got paid.
ReplyDeleteI haven't red much this week.
