Overall I thought Book 9- One Eyed Giants Cove was enjoyable. I think it is crazy that someone could remember that whole story, much less the whole book which is 173,600 words. This has led me to have suspicions about Homer's existence. I think that Homer was probably a real person, but some facts about him seem a little too good to be true.
