A review by jessalynn_librarian
The Odyssey by Gillian Cross

3.0

The oversize trim is a plus, and the retelling is smooth and reasonably compelling (it's been almost 15 years since I read the full version, but I still think Odysseus is a big jerk for much of the story). I'd recommend it to young mythology fans in a heartbeat. I do wish the illustrations weren't so off-putting! I liked a lot of the more abstract illustrations, but the depictions of human figures weren't something I could appreciate or admire.
