Answer 2

If you read Pride and Prejudice and scored well on the test, The Odyssey should not be a problem for you. I was in 9th grade when I read The Odyssey, and it was not an extra hard read. It is rather long however which can make it harder to get through. If you like social commentaries and historical fictions I would suggest A Tale of Two Cities; TOTC and Pride and Prejudice are my two favorite books. If you like science fiction, Frankenstein is an interesting, relatively quick read compared to The Odyssey. Hope that helps.. good luck!

Answer 4

I haven't read it in forever, but you could check it against Shmoop's summary... if an event is not in the brief version, it should be in the detailed version:
