The Odyssey, Books 18 - 24. THE END!

First off, I want to say that I loved the book, but in some parts it was very annoying. (No, I won't say that I hated it, but I would have liked to skip them. But I didn't.)
Most of the end was a total prediction waiting to happen. Big fight, talk, talk, talk, sorta happy ending. yeah..... Not the best ending, but I guess I can take it.
For the last couple of pages I was waiting  for the book to be finished, but when the ending came, it seemed abrupt. I was hoping for a more glorious finish to Ulysses' final step of his journey. A kind of "event".
Ulysses is a brave and strong person, I would say he was a hero, but he isn't very humble. He brags and boasts frequently and doesn't have very much mercy. When Ulysses went to tell his father he was home,  he began to lie to his father! about who he was after he had been gone for 20 years! He should have run to him, hugged him, and been beyond happy to finally see him again. I figure thats how most people would act.

Last Words: Loved the book. I would definatly recemend the Odyssey to others.
Hooray! Hope to start another book soon.
