是从波西角度描写各神 质量没话说 精装大爱啊 如果喜欢故事性的 这个还是别入了
This was an excellent book! It was filled with all of the familiar elements of the Greek mythology, but with the hilarious Percy Jackson narrating, it's stuffed to the rim with modern and funny comments and side notes to keep up the interesting factor up a through the whole book. I actually was a little sceptical about downloading it because I know all the myths by Heart. But this book tells them in a completely different view. So even if you know all of the myths, this book will tell them in a completely new way. I recommend this book wholeheartedly for any fantasy fan.
P. S. I say don't listen to the haters at all
P. P. S. This is a review by a 10 year old, so you know that I told the absolute truth I swear by the river Styx ( it's the best oath that you can make, so you can't break it)
If you're a fan of the Percy Jackson books and Percy Jackson's sardonic, witty narration, you won't be disappointed. The book starts with the Greek origin myth and goes on to give a pretty good summary of most of the major Greek gods. Though many of the more well-known myths (Jason and the Argonauts, Hercules, etc) are only mentioned in passing, you're given a run down of the Pantheon with stories that most people haven't heard of. Interspersed are actually some clever insights from Rick Riordan, which offer an interpretation as to the thought process behind these myths and the characters who inhabit them.
If you have fallen in love with Rick Riordan's books, then I highly recommend reading this. Percy Jackson - an insider - tells you all the juicy histories of the 12 Olympian gods plus a few more who sometimes are included in the twelve and sometimes are not. So you get the stories of Zeus, Poseidon, Demeter, Hera, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Hephaestus, Hermes, Ares, and Dionysus. You also get Hades, Hestia and Persephone.
However, and this is what moves it from a five star book to a four star book, this is not the best collection of stories about the Greek Gods. It's a bit too Disneyfied if you know what I mean. Which is fine as perhaps its meant for a younger audience. Still, I highly recommend reading a collection of myths like the one by Robert Graves or something like D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths. Reading multiple accounts anyway can't hurt as many of the stories have different versions.
Still this book has all the whimsy, irreverence and charm of the other Riordan books. And for that I must highly recommend it.
