#64 Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips
Nov. 26th, 2007 10:08 amI read this several months ago. I was out of town and read it so fast I forgot to post about it. It didn't help it got boxed up as soon as I got home. The story is the Greek gods have been living in London for centuries. Zeus hasn't been seen in decades and is guarded by Hera. Aphrodite is a phone sex operator. Apollo still turns women into trees if he doesn't get sex from them. Artemis is a dog walker and seems to be one of the more normal ones along with Dionysus as a club owner who serves his own wine and Hermes who is rather big in business. Aphrodite is bored and meddles into some mortals lives in order to get at Apollo. Artemis tries to fix this and of course things happen. I liked it a lot and it was a nice change of pace. Should be interesting if they go any further with the books at all. I have to admit I was reminded about posting the review with news that this is being made into a movie.
