The Odyssey's ending

The last few chapters of the Odyssey were actually pretty good. I found that it was a little more exciting and interesting than all of the earlier books. The thing I think I like most about it was that I understood it better than all of the earlier chapters. I’m not sure what it was about the end of it, but I just found that it was more enjoyable to read because it finally made sense to me. I like how that the beggar was Odysseus in disguise and that nobody knew except for Telemachus. The book also seemed to get more suspenseful when the nurse found out the beggar was really Odysseus by the scar he had, and then when he grabbed her by the neck and told her to keep her mouth shut. After that, my personal favorite part of the novel came up, which was when Odysseus won Penelopes contest and when he turned back into his true self. The slaughter I thought was pretty interesting. How just a few men were able to kill the suitors when they were out numbered, with a little help from Athena of course. I thought it was really a flashy way to show that the Great king Odysseus was home. I really wish the whole book was like the ending.
