Book Reviews of Gods Behaving Badly: A Novel
Book Review: 'Gods Behaving Badly' is a roller coaster ride of wicked-fun! BCM
Summary: 4 Stars
Gods Behaving Badly is a really interesting book. There is some colourful swearing and brief, sexual content, but these elements were essential to drive the story forward and help portray the characters temperaments more accurately. It was as if Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Zeus and others...were living in a neighbourhood nearby; the author's skilful story-weaving talents should be commended! It is really nice to find an inventive plot and a creative new story. I was rapidly reeled-in to the story of these Gods from Mount Olympus and the interactions between the humans in this story. Theses God's are marvellously flawed. The interactions between the human characters and the unique facets of Alice and Neil personalities are mesmerizing. I was captivated by all of the little idiosyncrasies and the fallibility of these two, eccentric human characters. The plot moves forward with steady momentum and has some exciting twists and turns. At times you'll probably want to give Apollo a kick in the pants or tell Aphrodite to stop meddling, but one thing is for sure; this story WILL NOT bore you!
(8 out of 10 Diamonds) - Thoroughly enjoyed it
