Thoughts of Odyssey so far

After reading thus far in the Odyssey by Homer I think that the book and the story itself are actually quite interesting.  In the book, I like how the author wrote it in somewhat of a play/ poem format because it makes it easier to read and understand.  As you read throughout the book you can tell that many things are repeated and I think that it helps a lot especially with those difficult passages.  The repetition helps you get the jist of the book and what the author is trying to say.  I like how Homer uses a lot of detail and similes and other stuff to show support for the ideas.  I think the book is good because it shows the struggles that the various characters have throughout the story. For example Odysseus trying to get home and Poseidon making it extremely hard for him. Also, Penelope and Telemachus with the suitors in their palace trying to woo Penelope and win her over, Telemachus finally mans up and tells it to the suitors mainly Antinous.  So I think so far the book is interesting and written so you can understand it and all of the main ideas and struggles.
