That is a ..."Greatest epic since Homer"? That is a pretty lofty claim, with little more than plot summary to back it up. There is perhaps some support in the final paragraph, but it feels like the post ends rather suddenly - the last sentence, in particular, seems out of place.<br />This post is quite informative and makes a perfectly good book 'report'; I would just like to see more 'review'.Sporadic Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216703068496493049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809664449363914806.post-17124282137884910172011-03-06T19:01:12.995-08:002011-03-06T19:01:12.995-08:00I agree with what they all said so I don't hav...I agree with what they all said so I don't have anything to say sorry!Huck Healershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12306498816476804371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809664449363914806.post-22134147035379510912011-03-06T18:22:39.841-08:002011-03-06T18:22:39.841-08:00This Is very descriptive but like Mrs. Holly said ...This Is very descriptive but like Mrs. Holly said its kinda focused I think you should try and even out your descriptiveness. this was a very interesting post to read and I am looking forward to reading more.The painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12081019119498790673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809664449363914806.post-75356702606629106602011-03-06T16:21:37.476-08:002011-03-06T16:21:37.476-08:00Lord of the Rings must be pretty good, if it's...Lord of the Rings must be pretty good, if it's better then Homer.

You spend most of your time on plot summary here and if you decide to choose this post to revise (everyone will be choosing one to revise in a few weeks), shorten your plot summary to a 3-4 sentences and spend most of your time analyzing the techniques and themes the author uses that set it apart from and above so many other epics.PinonKnitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113895653080351359noreply@blogger.com
