A Very Exciting & Enjoyable Read,
By
This review is from: The Adventures Of Ulysses (Paperback)
I used this book as part of my 7th grade Language Arts class. The story is exciting and entertaining. My students enjoyed the book especially during read alouds. The story also provides ample opportunities for writing topics, prediction, question & answer, and art. I follow up the book with the video/DVD The Odyssey with Armand Asanti but edit parts out. I obtained the Kurt Douglas version and will be comparing them. This is a must for any classroom library. Enjoy!

Adventurous, Something new on every page.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Adventures Of Ulysses (Paperback)
I thought this was a wonderful book. If you are interested in mythology, this is an exellent book to read. It is based on the classic "Odyssey", but retold in a format suitable for young adults. Every chapter contains a new, exciting adventure. Some of these include stories about Calypso, Circe, and Syclla & Charybdis. It is not hard to get in to, as the adventure starts on the very first page. So, if you are interested in mythology, give "The Adventures of Ulysses", a try!!

5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful and exciting excursion,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Adventures Of Ulysses (Paperback)
The adventures of Ulysses is a excellent book. It was fun, exciting and filled with irony. It always keeps you wondering what is going to happen, and keeps you at the egde of your chair. There was no best part of the story, the whole adventure was thrilling. He was faced with many challanges and was able to over come them all! For examle when Ulysses was in the cave with the Cyclops he was very clever; he tricked the Cyclops and got him drunk by drinking unwatered wine. Then he stabbed him in his one and only eye, which left him blinded and Ulysses escaped the cave by the help of rams. Ulysses was faced with many enemys, Poseidon was his greatest. Poseidon put a curse on Ulysses which made his voyage home very difficult. Like Circe said, Ulysses was sly like a fox; he got home to Ithaca in "the Return."
