Summary- The Odyssey is about a man named Odysseus.  He is trying to get home, but Poseidon is angry with Odysseus.  When Odysseus sails, Poseidon controls the currents to put the ship off course, so Odysseus has to fight his way through to get home.  Does he get home?  Does he even get out alive?  Read this book to come in to a whole new world of mythology.

Rating- I rate this book 5 stars because it was a very action packed and interesting.  Homer included a lot of creative obstacles.  It was an entertaining piece of Greek mythology that everyone should read.
