From Publishers Weekly

With a bit of sibling rivalry, some incestuous Greek gods, and good ol' contemporary London, Phillips puts together an amusing epic journey with perhaps a bit less pizzazz than Homer. Jealous of Neil, a mortal, because Alice loves him, Apollo schemes to bring about Alice's demise, but his sister Artemis won't let dead mortals lie. Needing a hero for a journey, she enlists the timid Neil to go into Hades and recover Alice (and save the world while he's at it). Phillips's tale is a delightful flight of fancy into the world of what would the Greek gods do that is adequately abridged, though listeners may want to hear the full extent of the characters' exploits. Tom Sellwood delivers in an English accent that works well with the setting. He ably projects the various gods' and goddesses' personas through their dialogue, so Apollo's arrogance is heard as well as Ares' more aggressive personality. Sellwood is at his best as Neil, the dry and mild-mannered engineer who gets caught up in the games of the gods.

From AudioFile

Phillips's wildly funny romantic caper stars Greek gods who are living in a run-down townhouse in London, barely making a living and losing their powers. Apollo falls in love with Alice, a cleaning woman, who is in love with Neil, an engineer. Apollo and Neil face off, Alice is killed by lightening, and Apollo falls into a coma, turning the sun off and threatening mankind's existence. Neil makes a perilous journey to the underworld to rescue Alice and bring Apollo back to life. Tom Sellwood undertakes an enormous cast of characters--from sexy, deep-throated goddesses to the whiny Apollo and an assortment of Londoners. The abridgment is flawless, keeping a high-energy pace and offering a barrel of laughs. M.T.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

5.0étoiles sur 5 Gods And Mortals, Oct. 12 2007
Par Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Gods Behaving Badly (Hardcover)
Famed Greek Gods, Artemis, Apollo, Aphrodite and Dionysus share a living space in England. Not having the ancient powers they used to, each God takes on 'mortal' jobs, ranging from walking dogs to running a night club to being a telephone sex operator. There is much bickering around the household about ordinary life and they tend to cause several quite humorous mischievous things to each other. One that is important is when Aphrodite gets Eros to make Apollo fall in love with a young cleaning woman (as good housekeepers are tough to find these days, you know). Of course, this woman is not emotionally available and that starts a series of truly clever and funny occurrences throughout the book. Greek mythology is well reconstructed and the new world is far raunchier and seedier than the distant past. Of course, all these activities lead up to a tumultuous ending where mortals and Gods interact in the strangest of underworld ways. A clever idea written with a breezy wit; Marie Phillips hits the mark on the head with this twist of mythology and reality.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Wonderful Gods, Déc 4 2008
Par Jamieson Villeneuve "Author at Large" (Ottawa Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Gods Behaving Badly (Paperback)
What would happen if the Greek Gods of myth actually existed? What would happen if the Gods lived among us? How would they exist? What would they do? And would people still believe in them?

This is the premise for Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Philips.

The novel is a sheer delight and has cured me of my book reading blues. It tells the story of what would happen if all the former gods were forgotten and lived amongst mortals.

There's Artemis, Goddess of hunting, now a dog walker. Aphrodite, Goddess of Beauty, now a phone sex operator. There's Apollo, God of the Sun, now a cheesy telephone physic. Zeus is bedridden and is guarded by Hera. Persephone lives in the Underworld with Hades, finding live above ground tiresome.

All the Greek Gods of myths gone by are still alive. But their power is dwindling. They are growing older and, Artemis fears, they may soon dies. So they live in a dilapidated old house, existing for hundreds of years, bored by their life.

All that changes, however, when a cleaner named Alice comes into their lives and turns them all upside-down in a heartbeat....

Gods Behaving Badly is one of the most amazingly funny books I have read all year. Not only is it a tale supremely told, it's a interesting look at the way we interact with each other and how others, immortals lets say, would perceive us.

It's also a heck of a fun read and, suffice it to say that it's one of the best novels I've ever read. It's funny, charming, delightful and, somehow, makes those divine being seem incredibly human.

If you haven't picked up your copy, please do. It will satisfy any reader and leave you wanting more from the talented, wonderful Marie Philips.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Hilarious, Fast-pace, Worth purchase, Oct. 21 2009
This review is from: Gods Behaving Badly (Paperback)
Overall the story is great, and the writer made the story intersting and fun to read even for a reader, such as myself, who do not have much idea about Greek gods. I have no hard time picking up each god's character during my reading.
However, I am disappointed that the ending of the story is kinda scrambled up.
