AMAZING!!!!!!!! This book was... I don't know but it was one of my favorites from Rick Riordan... It talks about 12 gods/goddesses: Hestia, Demeter, Persephone, Hera, Hades, Poseideon, Zeus, Athena, Aphrodite, Ares, Hephaestus, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, and Dionysus... it also covered how the "world formed"(btw I'm a Christian so ya...) and how cannibalism was introduced(scary thought)... It could've been serious, but the way it was narrated(Percy Jackson) made me laugh the whole entire time, I didn't know if it was Rick's intention... but it made learning new facts of mythologies more easier, funnier, and a faster way to remember these myths... oh ya I don't know if this counts as spoiling but the book is HUGEEEEEEEEEEE when I mean huge it mean ENORMOUSLY HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had know idea that this book would be BIG, I thought it was one of those regular sized books that were thick BUT it was HUGEEEEEEEEE.... I guess that's another reason why it made the book more fun to read... I had read like huge books when I was like 3/4/5... but for the first time in forever(:D) I read a huge, witty, and factual book... So I urge you guys to read this book for fans of Rick Riordan's writing(Percy Jackson/Kane Chronicles/Heroes of Olympus) and adventurous, historical, hilarious types of book... this will be the perfect book for you to read... :-D

A publisher in New York asked me to write down what I know about the Greek gods, and I was like, Can we do this anonymously? Because I don't need the Olympians mad at me again. But if it helps you to know your Greek gods, and survive an encounter with them if they ever show up in your face, then I guess writing all this down will be my good deed for the week.
So begins Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, in which the son of Poseidon adds his own magic--and sarcastic asides--to the classics. He explains how the world was created, then gives readers his personal take on a who's who of ancients, from Apollo to Zeus. Percy does not hold back. "If you like horror shows, blood baths, lying, stealing, backstabbing, and cannibalism, then read on, because it definitely was a Golden Age for all that."
