Book Reviews of We Followed Odysseus

Book Review: A delightful history lesson.
Summary: 5 Stars

As pointed out on the inner flap of the dust cover for We Followed Odysseus, many have heard of but never read either of Homer's The Illiad or The Odyssey but "they are planning to read some day." Few are ever likely to. With his well researched book, Mr. Roth has come to the rescue. It is unlikely that anyone else has ever gone to the trouble of attempting to sight all of the locations in Homer's books and then to have actually sailed all of the stretches of sea between them. We Followed Odysseus is not only a first class read but a delightful history lesson.
