Reading Notes B- Odyssey

Something I have noticed in all the stories: they were all drunk. It is kind of funny to me, it is always with ' too much wine.'

I also am not a fan of how big the paragraphs are. When reading online, paragraphs that long hurt my eyes.  I hope mine can be short and sweet, but still, have the amount of detail they have included.

I didn't like that they included so many names and characters - I thought it was a lot but maybe for my story, I will also have to do that. I hope not.

Reading Notes A : Odyssey: The Land of the Cyclopes

The Land of the Cyclopes: I liked how the story was written, but it was hard to comprehend, maybe because of the English that was used. I had to take a couple of tries to read it to truly understand it at all.

The stories themselves are captivating and a different twist on the type of character the cyclops is 'supposed' to be. I imagined him as mean but thought it was unique of how he was portrayed.

The farther I read I realized the cyclops was mean, I was just misunderstood. I do like the idea of a character being different.

Side note: That wine sounds delicious and I would love some.

I love the details put into this story, but I want mine to be an easier, fun read.
