Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It was about a man named Ulysses who went on a journey.
Review: Ulysses was a courageous man who lead a journey of three ships and many men. He encountered strange creatures, demigods and people who helped and harmed him. We disliked most of this book because it was hard to follow, some parts were too long and boring, and it was a little repetitive. We don't recommend this book to anyone who doesn't enjoy Greek adventures.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ulysses; Myth or Man?
Review: Ulysses. His adventures are beyond imagination. After fighting the Trojan Wars, it took him about 10 years to get back home. On his way, he battled the great one-eyed Cyclops, went to the world of Darkness, visited the underworld, but he was able to survive and reach home. This is a book of action, adventure, and wit. Ulysses was faced with numerous obstacles, harsh decisions, and enemies, all trying to prevent him from returning home. Ulysses was able to overcome every obstacle and make his way home. This is a great book, and I really enjoyed reading it. I recommend this book to anyone with a taste of adventure.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Man or Myth?
Review: Ulysses. His adventures are beyond imagination. This book is really exciting to me. After fighting the Trojan Wars, it took him 10 long years to get back to Ithaca, his home. On his way, he battled and tricked the great one-eyed Cyclops, sailed to the world of Darkness, visited the Underworld, and even encountered the Sirens and Apollo's flock of golden sheep. Not only that, he and his crewmembers had to sail in a perfect way between two rocks to avoid being eaten and dashed to pieces by rocks, but he was able to survive and reach home.

The main character in the story is Ulysses. I liked the way in which Ulysses not only fought bravely, despite the members of his crew that betrayed him, but used his wit to help overcome obstacles. Ulysses was faced with numerous obstacles, harsh decisions, and enemies, all trying to prevent him from returning home and to his wife, Penelope. Ulysses was able to overcome every obstacle and make his way home, even though he lost all of his crewmembers.

I enjoyed this book because this is a book of action and adventure. It is also a book of betrayal, decisions, and bloodshed. I just can't put down the book once I started reading it. This is a great book, and I really enjoyed reading it. I recommend this book to anyone, young or old alike, to people with a taste of adventure.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The book was pretty good
Review: We had to read this book for english class.My favorite part was when Ulysses reunited with his family and lived happily ever after.Other favorite parts included when Ulysses stabed the one eyed cyclops Polyphemus in his only eye.The book was not so super great though because there could have been more action scenes.Overall though it was an ok book.
