Gods Behaving Badly



Be ready and read because Gods Behaving Badly is coming to a theather by you. So while we wait for a trailer the novel Gods Behaving Badly to premier why not get a poorly written review by me. Greek mythology is a fantastic topic and I love the stories behind each god, between their constant meddling in mortal affairs and the high amount of sex what’s not to love about it.  Then if that suites your fancy then I recommend reading Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Philips. What a fantastic read, there a nice appearance of the pretty much the main Gods of   Olympus but they got displaced from their high mountain and are bumming around in London sharing a Flat.
So its basically the jersey shore is you know with Gods. Apollo like the guy who prime was being the high school football star and he’s trying to cope with not being in the spotlight. Artemis is that girl that exercise all the makes even the most athletic of people feel fat. Aphrodite is well…um… she’s special and bit of a not a nice word. Seeing how I am falling head over heels for three out of the twelve that make an appearance Philips really did her research. Philips made seamless transitions into references and used material to spin both the contemporary living of modern London and the historical background of the Gods from ancient Greece very well it’s had a really good flow to it. The Mortals involved in the book tend to be the rather oblivious bystanders to the Gods and its great fun to watch them squirm. I would recommend this book its you’re a fan of Greek mythology , looking for a light and funny read , and wonder what your favorite gods are up to. Fun fact Christopher Walken is playing Zuess, which is many levels of awesome.
