 Odyssey: Into the Light November 5, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This particular Odyssey had enough intrigued to keep our daughter intersted but not so much that she became scared or confused. I love the fact that some of the stories continue on and that it causes thought provoking questions from her. I don't know about some of you, but I am egstatic that she is learing life lessons at the same time she is having fun. She often chooses a story at night to listen to continuously.
The genius of Odyssey June 18, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have listened to Adventures in Odyssey for 8 years, It is by far the greatest Radio Drama Series I have ever heard. The genius in Odyssey consists not only of the interesting stories, characters, and superb writing. But, in the understated comedy of the show, When listening to this you will find yourself smiling, and laughing (and maybe even falling off your chair) In the midst of the craziness and stress of life. It teaches christian values and principals, all while keeping kids laughing and interested, Though its geared toward children, its a show for all ages. With something to keep everyone interested. This particular Odyssey album Into the Light, is a fantastic example of everything Odyssey has represented throughout the years. As the 47th album in a long line of wonderful albums, It definately lives up to Odysseys legacy. I would highly recommend this album and all the others to people of every age. You will not be sorry, and you'll catch yourself buying up all the other albums as well.... A very worth while investment.
