The Odyssey

Personally I think that the book called "The Odyssey" its a really difficult book to understand, because it was very tough for me to comprehend, you can get lost easily and to keep track of what was going on in the sequence you had to deal with lost of Greek mythology. Be careful because some events don't make sense until you finish the reading the book.
In this book, you can find lots of conflicts and drama, since Calypso, who is a water nymph and one of the main characters in the story, falls deeply in love with Odysseus, a Trojan warrior and the main character of the book, who already has a family. He is married with Penelope and together they have a sun called Telemachus. Who lived in Ithaca were they share the thrown, hoping that Odysseus had survived the Trojan War and returns home.
Calypso retains Odysseus during sever years by pleasing him, with everything he wanted and offering immortality, but Odysseus only desire was to go back home.
Even though I didn't like reading this book, I recommend people to read it because its a classic in literature, and people should give it a chance, because they might get a different opinion.
