Reading Notes: The Voyages of Sinbad, Part B

The second half of The Voyages of Sinbad was almost the exact same as the first.  Sinbad continued to go on voyages where he encountered near death experiences, made it home safely, and then got bored and decided to go on another voyage.  I thought the second half was very repetitive and a little boring.  After his sixth voyage he made it a point to go on no more because of his age but alas, he went on a seventh when the commander asked him to deliver a letter to the King of Serendib in return for his friendship.  Sinbad carried out the task, again merely escaping death and finally returned home to never travel again and live with all of his riches.
