I like Odysseus' plan because it was wonderful and unexpected.The wooden horse is looking great. Greek people is smarter than Troy people. There are lot of people from Greek attacking Troy. There are lots of treasure and gold coins in Troy. It took a long time to attack Troy and made the wooden horse . Troy was well defended at first, but failed at last because of the wooden horse trick.

It was a fiction book. My favourite character in the story were King Menelaus and Queen Helen. Helen lived in ancient Greece and married to King Menelaus of Sparta. One day,a young prince named Paris came to the palace. He was from city of Troy,across the Aegean Sea. Helen fell in love with Paris and runs away to Troy.So King Menelaus seeks help from all the Greek kings and they all agreed to help.Thousand ships sailed to war with Troy to get Helen back. It sparks a siege that rages for ten years until the mission was over. Menelaus was finally back with his queen,whose beauty was launched a thousand ships. I recommend this book.
