Since you called me a "tard" you're probably ridiculously immature. And since you can't spell "because" you're probably stupid. Also, it's "waste" not "waist". A waist is the area of curviness above the hips. And I said you were in middle school because of your abhorent vocabulary usage, also you said "the oddessy of whatever". For these reasons The Odyssey is probably a billion times over your head and you'd miss the subtleties if you read it in any part. Also, you probably wouldn't finish it because you probably have no reading patience (also taken from your lexicon). A good reader is a good writer who puts effort into every bit of writing, informal or not. Therefore, it can be assumed that you're a bad reader and should not read "the oddessy or whatever".
Since you have to do a book report, you're probably in middle school. In this case, The Odyssey is not for you. It's basically the story of Odyssius on the way home from the Trojan war. Not only is it one of the greats ever but it's tremendously difficult to comprehend - especially at 13-14 as you probably are. If you so chose The Odyssey it would take you much longer than 2 months to totally read it, then you'd have to analyze every tiny detail. It's one of those. At this point you're most likely rolling your eyes and thinking either 1) that's stupid or 2) this girl thinks I'm an idiot, I'm not rating her and possibly some combination of them both. I don't care, I answered your question.

It's only a literary masterpiece upon which many movies, books, plays, and pieces of art of today's time build a foundation around, and despite being written before the pen was invented, many themes are still relevant in today's world. So, no, it sucks. Don't bother.

i would recommend going to www.sparknotes.com you may have to register there, but it privides summaries of each chapter with an in depth analysis of the characters and events in the story. sparknotes also has notes on most of the major books you will be reading throughout high school. i for one use it and it's really helpful to understanding the story esp. with shakespearean language.
