Blurb From the Back of the Book
Being immortal isn't all it's cracked up to be. Life's hard for a Greek god in the 21st centuary: nobody belives in you, your own family doesn't respect you, and you're stuck in a dilapidated hovel in north London with too many siblings and not enough hot water. But for Artemis (godess of hunting, professional dog walker) and Apollo (god of the sun, TV psychic) there's no way out. Until one day a meek cleaner and her would-be boyfriend come into their lives, and turn their world literally upside down..."

"Ingeniously imagined and satisfyingly lusty" - Guardian.

Started today.
I just couldn't get into this book. The more I read, the more strange it seemed to get. I got this as part of a newspaper offer; because it looked so appealing and interesting. I don't think I would have picked it up if it was on it's own. By the time the Underworld was visited, I had lost all hope of ever getting back into it.
But I am sure for the right person, probably someone who has a little knowledge of Greek mythology, it would make a good read.
