Best Books Set in London (128) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   ) karenchase | Jun 14, 2023 |  Very creative book. What if the Greek gods lived in modern times? Think it was more fun to imagine Artemis the dog walker, Aphrodite the pone sex operator, And Apollo a Z-list celebrity more than the story itself. ( ) wellington299 | Feb 19, 2022 | What an entertaining premise! The Greek gods of Olympus are all living together in a rundown, cramped, poorly maintained flat in London, and they are none too happy about it. Although they are still immortal, their powers have weakened considerably, and they find themselves caught up in petty squabbles. When Aphrodite and Apollo have an argument that escalates, it catches two mortals in the middle of it: Alice, a sweet but mousy cleaner, and her would-be boyfriend Neil, a sweet but mousy engineer. When Alice and Neil find themselves in a position to help save humankind, they discover that power and influence have nothing to do with being immortal and everything to do with being flawed humans. ( ) niaomiya | Jan 13, 2022 |  ) ElizabethCromb | Dec 6, 2021 | Well. This book stays really true to the mythology, including the really raunchy parts. Cause this books was really raunchy. So if tons and tons of sex bothers you, you might wanna stay away from this book. Most of the sex is at the beginning, so once you get past it, it's really good, and funny. Other than that one spoiler-y issue and all the raunchiness, it was really fun to read. ( ) astronomist | Oct 3, 2021 | sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica

HTML:Being immortal is not all it once was. Yes, the twelve Greek gods of Olympus are alive and well in the twenty-first century, but they are crammed together in a London town houseâ??and are none too happy about it. Even more disturbing, their powers are waning. For Artemis (goddess of hunting, professional dog walker), Aphrodite (goddess of beauty, telephone sex operator), and Apollo (god of the sun, TV psychic), thereâ??s no way outâ??until a meek cleaner, Alice, and her would-be boyfriend, Neil, turn their world literally upside down. When what begins as a minor squabble between Aphrodite and Apollo escalates into an epic battle of wills, Alice and Neil are caught in the cross fire, and they must fear not only for their own lives, but for the survival of humankind. Nothing less than a true act of heroism is neededâ??but can these two decidedly ordinary people replicate the feats of the mythical heroes and save the world? GODS BEHAVING BADLY is that rare thing: a charming, funny, utterly original first novel that satisfies the head an Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
