Gods Behaving Badly
I could not resist the title. Gods Behaving Badly rings of "Girls Gone Wild". It's actually quite fun. The premise is that the Greek Gods, almost completely dwindled in power and potency have been reduced to living in an old house in London. Artemis, Godess of Chastity and Hunting is always out jogging in a track suit, Aphrodite works as a phone sex operator, Dionysis runs a nightclub and has his own brand of wine, Hermes is basically a bike messenger....you get the picture. Into this happens the innocent Alice, a mortal who works for them as a house cleaner.
I kept on waiting for it to get annoying ...and then it was over. So she sustained it throughout without me throwing it down in disgust. The writer is British so at least you can count on them to be able to write well. More than I can say for most books lately. Yes you---I'm talking about you---woman who wrote Eat Stink Pray Love, can't remember your name but I know who you are.
