Great Intro to Mythology

My daughter had to read a book on mythology for her middle school language arts class. I found this book on Barnes and Noble and picked it up because the teacher thought that Hamilton and Bulfinch might be too involved for the kids. My daughter was totally enthralled with the book and has already read many of the stories two and three times. She has confided that if she does not get her degree in the performing arts, she wants to seriously study mythology based on the stories in this book. That is some book!

Phenomenal!

I really liked this book! It had stories for each god, goddess, and monster just like it says on the title. Each story feels like you have gone back to when the gods actually interacted with the mortals and you could see them doing what the do! I had to read this for school thinking that it would be the most boring book i have ever read, just most other books read for school. We started the first story Zeus, it was interesting but I wasn't satisfied then we started reading all of the other stories and i was hooked! I think people who like the Percy Jackson series and the Lost Hero will absolutely love this book! ENJOY!

This Book Was Great!

I personally thought that this book was one of the greatest Greek Mythology books that I have ever read. This book really described the charcters and their goals in life in very specific details. I had a English test on this book, and it was a piece of cake. I would really recommend this book to people who are just starting out on learning about Greek Mythology.

Very knowledgeable

I have read this book since I was seventeen and until today I remember how it has helped me to attain my goals, it made me more ambitious. It is a very exciting book for your readers and should be thought in school for children.I am sure it will help to improve or grow stronger love for one another.

Great book!

I think this is a great book. Its really good for people who want to learn a little more about Greek mythology. I have always been into the anicent Greeks and their beliefs. I found out new things in this book. Its really good and I think that this is what they should have kids read in school to learn about the Greek Gods and Goddesses.
