Gods Behaving Badly: A Novel by Marie Phillips

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
I picked this book up at the public library because I had recently enjoyed reading about the Greek gods in the Percy Jackson series for kids, most recently The Battle of the Labyrinth. The story in this book was much more light-hearted than the adventure stories in the Percy Jackson books. Also, this book is definitely not one you will find in an elementary or even middle school library since it delves to some extent into the amorous activities of the various gods and goddesses as they attempt to pass the time in what has become, for them, a somewhat boring existence. In some ways, the ending reminded me of Tinkerbelle in the Peter Pan stories who needed the belief of people to revive. Overall I enjoyed this story, but it felt like it ended too soon and I was left wanting more.
