Adventures of Ulysses

Rating:
Summary: the book was good but not the best one we've ever read.
Review: The book was interesting but it gets kind of confusing towards the middle.If you are the kind of person who can't stay focused on a book, this is not the one for you.But if you like,adventure,and action this is a good book that you'll probably enjoy.The many places and people that are in the story can sometimes make it hard to follow.Otherwise, this book was enjoyable.

Summary: Full of action
Review: There are a lot of books that can get very boring to me, but this book never did. Whenever one exciting part was over, another one started. That is what I liked about this book. I also liked the history part in it, and that it wasn't very modern at all. I thought that made it good too. No wonder the Odyssey is so famous. It's a great adventure, and one that I would reccomend.

Summary: Very straightforward presentation
Review: This book doesn't mess around. There is a very brief prologue summarizing the role Ulysses (Odysseus) played in the fall of Troy (the Iliad), but then it starts full-steam with the tales of the Odyssey. It's intended for younger readers, but I enjoyed it immensely. It was fun to relearn the Odyssey after 20 or so years. The stories are not told in a high literary form; instead, the voice used by Evslin sounds more like listening to your grandfather spin a tale, but it works. Yes, the violence and death are included. The illustrations heading each chapter are particularly interesting, very psychedelic, and appropriate considering that this was first published in 1969.

Summary: A great interpretation of The Odyssey for young adults.
Review: This book is great if you are interested or would like to be interested in Greek mythology. Every page has a new adventure on it. Adventures include "The Sirens", "Circe's Island", and "The Cyclopes".

Summary: It Was Great!
Review: This book is really exciting, especially the parts where he sees those monsters like the cyclops. It was funny when he tricked the cyclops into thinking that his name was Noman. Then when the Ulysses and his men attacked it, it said, "Noman is killing me! Noman is killing me!", which meant that no man is killing it to the other cyclops. I can't believe that he thought of something like that. It suprises me that a book like this is a non-fiction book, since there are those monsters. This book was really a book to remember.

The main character of this book is Ulysses, the King of Ithaca. He goes to Troy to attack the Romans with many other Greeks to bring the wife of a Greek king back. The Romans stole her from her home. After they win the battle after many years, it was time for the long journey home to Ithaca. ...
I liked this book because it is full of adventures and twists and turns. It is so exciting that i finished the book in one day because i couldn't stop reading! This is a book that people of all ages should read.

Summary: This book is so terrible it doesnt even deserve one star!!!!
Review: This book was unbelievably boring. All it talked about was this man who went to islands. He cheated on his wife like three times and even when one person turned all his friends into pigs. I despise this book it should be in the literary hall of Shame this book is supposed to be read to students in the sixth grade. i dont think it should be because of how seductive it is. I think that no child under 16 should read it because of how in appropriate it is. I t is also very boring too. there are many scenes where it desribes the blood and violence in horrific detail and some parts are just discusting. i have read many books and this is by far the worst one i have EVER read.
