What a fun book. I found out this book is also a part of the Tirals of Apollo series and is book #2 . The premise of the story is the Greek god Apollo angered his father Zeus (chief of the Greek deities) and not only got booted out of Olympus (where the deities hang out) but was turned into a heavy set American teenager with a bad case of acne. Apollo’s language is hilarious because he is just a little, well, o.k., a lot narcissistic, so he throws a little sarcasm into his conversations as well as 21st century street-wise slang and is certainly up on his cultural awareness even when dealing with deities of other cultures and creatures and lesser deities of his own background. Its like Ancient Greece (and frankly the entire ancient world) meets in Brooklyn and other locations throughout the United States and globally. Fun and funny events happen and it is a riot listening to Apollo’s take on things. It is fast paced and a thrilling roller coaster ride with all the adventures and battles. The other characters are hilarious, too. Let me point out Meg especially. The other characters play off each other so well in this story it is like watching a night at the Improv. Young or old, you will enjoy this story. I know I did.
