Book Review: Gods Behaving Badly

I read this novel during a mythology class my sophomore year in college.  I wasn't sure what to expect from the book, but it was, by far, the best book I have ever read.  It is my favorite novel, and I have read it multiple times.  This book has been refered to as a "high-concept comic" novel.  It takes Greek mythology and the most well known characters/gods and throws them into a hilarious living situation in London.  The deities have experience terrible misfortune and now have to live surrounded by normal people, but they still have their powers and abilities.  Some of the gods I have mentioned within this blog are in the novel as well.  For 293 pages, this novel has everything a good book should have.  There is action, humor, drama, and romance all wrapped up in a great binding.  The gods finds themselves involved with two humans, and the crazy antics and intense moments continue until the book ends.  This novel is so greatly appreciated there is a movie version that is supposed to come out.  The brief movie summary is :

Greek gods living in modern-day New York intervene in the lives of a young couple.  The cast will add to great story as well.  Some actors/actresses who will be on the big screen are Christopher Walken, Alicia Silverstone, and Sharon Stone.  It is my advice to read the book first.  The movie is going to release sometime in the next year.  The book is great, and I plan to read it a few times before I go see the movie.  When the trailer releases, I will post it.  Go get a copy of the novel and enjoy!
