The Odyssey: A Graphic Novel: Homer's thrilling ancient Greek myth told in pacy full-colour graphic novel form for teenage readers Paperback – Illustrated, 4 Oct. 2010

I bought this for myself years ago and loved it. Faithfull to the original, and such a tremendous work! Imagine over 200 pages of thoroughly illustrated images, well researched, several per page! You can see the love for the originialI introduced it to my 6 year old son half a year ago, and he reads in it every day. I have read it out loud for him 2 times all the way through. His favourite book of all books is the Illiad by Garerth Hinds (which I have read for him every day for months now at his request, some passages he just cannot get enough of). It also made me pick up the original Homer again, appreciating it in a new way

It Great worth a read

This graphic novel was a perfect way to introduce my five year old son to reading and ancient Greek myths. The pictures allowed him to visualise the story and therefore better understand the plot. He could associate the text easily with the correct character as the pictures aided his understanding and at the same time helping maintain his interest in the story.The graphic novel is lengthy so it represented good value for money and allowed the author to retell Homer's epic in a thorough way. The artwork was skillfully drawn, however it was a little bland. But this is a very minor negative of what was overall, an excellent purchase.

Bought as a gift for a friend. They were happy! At a glance, seems good quality. Happy days.

Lovely version which follows the original narrative rather than cutting straight to the monsters. Recommended.

An amazing adaptation of the Odyssey which shows Odysseus magical voyage and his murderous revenge.The book is full of colourful and interesting drawings which very much suit the story and setting of the book.This book is an easy and enjoyable read,a must have for anyone interested in classics and for anyone who wants a brief and clear summary of the Odyssey.

My 10 year old son loves it, and me aged 40 also love it. The greatest story ever told

A new unbelievable way to enjoy Odyssey! Amazing work indeed!
