Book Review: Lost Books of the Odyssey by Zachary Mason


17 May

I want to start by saying I really enjoyed Lost Books of the Odyssey, I’ve been wanting to read it since it came out, and I finally bought myself a copy. However, it bills itself as a novel. It’s not. There is a certain feel to the different episodes presented as supposed lost or alternate stories from the Odyssey, that make the book feel like there’s a progression from beginning to end, but there’s no plot, no cohesive story.

If you loved the Odyssey (and I did), you’ll like this book. But I wouldn’t recommend it for those who didn’t.
