Synopsis
Being immortal isn't all it's cracked up to be. Life's hard for a Greek god in the 21st century: nobody believes in you any more, even your own family doesn't respect you, and you're stuck in a delapidated hovel in north London with too many siblings and not enough hot water. But for Artemis (goddess of hunting, professional dog walker), Aphrodite (goddess of beauty, telephone sex operator) and Apollo (god of the sun, TV psychic) there's no way out...Until a meek cleaner and her would-be boyfriend come into their lives, and turn the world literally upside down. "Gods Behaving Badly" is that rare thing, a charming, funny, utterly original first novel that satisfies the head and the heart.
Bought in Prague, very entertaining and funny, perfect for the train ride, I really enjoyed it!

passed it on to concertina8
Yes, was funny. The whole underworld part dragged on a bit, though.

caught at the English meet-up at Maschu Maschu - the description is somehow interesting - especially after reading another book about the ancient gods

I enjoyed reading the book in Bad Tatzmannsdorf without being disturbed. Finally there was a new story around an old-fashioned love story with old-fashioned gods. I liked the way the goddesses and gods were described - although they were immortal, their behavior was worse than the mortals' ones.
