The Odyssey

   Hey again.
   I just finished the Odyssey, and I really don't know if I like it, or dislike it. I think it is one of those books that starts out slow, and then gets faster and more interesting as you go along. Telemachus seems like one of those people who brood over everything and don't really take anything in, but listen when something is important to know. I also like Minerva in this segment. Usually, I picture her as the goddess with a lot of mental toughness who's all, "suck it up dude," but she seemed to have sympathy and good advice for Telemachus in book 1.
   So yeah, basically, as we get further into the book, I'll see what happens.
  Tschus allah, Jenna Chambers.

  1. I totally agree with the start out slow kind of thing. But soemtimes those books go nowhere, but I hope this one gets better! I know very little about all the Gods and Goddesses, though, which made the story a little more tricky for me!

  2. Great characterization of Telemachus -- broody but attentive. He reminds me a little of Hamlet. . .
