I had just finished Homer’s Odyssey and moved immediately to this book, which I read in a few hours. While I found much of Homer’s Odyssey to be wonderful and amazing, I found several instances in Homer to be laugh out loud funny. Yet, I spent the last chapters in tears, perhaps because I was reading it so immediately after meeting and growing with Homer in his first book. If Homer’s Odyssey was a firm 5 out of 5 stars, Homer is more of a 4.6 kind of five stars, if you follow me. Of course, part of that is because Homer is one-third the length of Homer’s Odyssey, so it can’t wallop with the same type of depth. For what it is, a kind of supplement to the prior book, it is excellent, fulfilling all of its promises. I recommend this book, particularly if one has read Homer’s Odyssey.
