Staff Review: Gods Behaving Badly

Title/Author: Gods Behaving Badly - Marie Phillips

Genre(s): Literary Fiction, Magical Realism, Comedy, Mythology

This novel tells the story of the Greek Gods attempting to survive in modern-day London. They're dying and need saving, but they've got nobody to save them - or so they thought. Enter our heroine, a shy and modest cleaning lady. The survival of not only the gods, but the entire world, is at stake when our beloved TV psychic Apollo screws up big time.

Marie Phillips knows how to make her readers giggle. She slams you straight into a love-hate relationship with each and every God and Goddess from page one. This book was genuinely so hard to put down, and quickly became one which I recommend to all my friends. A must-read if you are in need of a laugh!

TLDR; Gods Behaving Badly is witty, fast-paced, and hilarious.

Staff Review: Norse Mythology

Title/Author: Norse Mythology – Neil Gaiman

Genre(s): Mythology, Folklore, Fiction

Gaiman journeys into the heart of the Nine Worlds to recount the loves, triumphs, tragedies and betrayals of the Norse gods.  Utilizing ancient sources and his own flair for storytelling, Gaiman brings the characters of the Norse myths to life for a modern audience.  I really loved Gaiman’s retelling as someone who knows the source stories intimately, and I think you will too.
