The Odyssey

The Odyssey, one of the world's classics, is about the travels and troubles of Odysseus. Familiar with Greek mythology? You know who I'm talking about.
However, this book is called an epic poem for a reason. The poem itself is 485 pages long, and the plot is complicated. So I do not recommend this book to you unless you think you can handle it, because it is kind of a difficult read.
This book does have some language.


I rate this book 3.5 stars, just because it is a difficult read.

I wish I had listened to Kim. It would've changed everything.

The title of this book is Ghost Boys. 

It is about a boy named  Jerome. He gets killed from a white cop in Chicago. This book tells us about what Jerome's life was like before and after he was killed. I find this really interesting because it leaves you off on a cliffhanger and you have to wait until the next dead of alive chapter to come.
