Review of 'The Odyssey (Bantam Literature)' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

As a psychological thriller, I think this will work much better as a movie rather than as a book. I found the metaphors and description throughout cliched. The plot was unrealistic in text form, with too many improbable turns. The weaving of the past and present together in the film-making twist was admittedly interesting, but also left many plot holes after its conclusion. Why did the motorbike rider run Ben off the road? How was Ben able to become a successful architect after his childhood experiences, and how did this affect his later life?

The narration by Richard Armitage was superb; and this will make an engaging piece of television.
