What a ride. Reading this in anticipation to the Nolan movie. This book drags on quite a bunch and it felt like the pacing was very off. The last portion felt very repetitive at moments and dragged out. This is more of a me issue, but found it hard to remember the greek names and sometimes I forgot who is who. The Fagles translation tries to keep it more poetic and that causes it to be a bit harder to digest.
Overall I'm glad I was able to read this, but I don't think i would want to reread it.
