Title: I'd prefer "The Odyssey"...
Review: This "book" was a bit hard to read. The introduction was longer than the actual story. It provided some good background information, but also gave away much of what was to come. Perhaps some of it could have been saved for the end of the book? The story itself is very confusing. Gilgamesh, a god-king, is hated by his people so they pray to the gods to make an equal for him. His equal and him basically fight, go on "adventures" that seem to have no meaning, and visit people/gods with similar hard to pronounce names. If you are studying Mesopotamia, you should probably check out this epic. Otherwise, try something else...
