  <default-description>Being a Greek god is not all it once was. Yes, the twelve gods of Olympus are alive and well in the twenty-first century, but they are crammed together in a London townhouse&#8212;and none too happy about it. And they've had to get day jobs: Artemis as a dog-walker, Apollo as a TV psychic, Aphrodite as a phone sex operator, Dionysus as a DJ.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Even more disturbingly, their powers are waning, and even turning mortals into trees&#8212;a favorite pastime of Apollo's&#8212;is sapping their vital reserves of strength.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Soon, what begins as a minor squabble between Aphrodite and Apollo escalates into an epic battle of wills. Two perplexed humans, Alice and Neil, who are caught in the crossfire, must fear not only for their own lives, but for the survival of humankind. Nothing less than a true act of heroism is needed&#8212;but can these two decidedly ordinary people replicate the feats of the mythical heroes and save the world?</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[What did happen to the Greek gods after people began believing in a single deity? It appears that they are living rather seedy lives in London, still keeping the sun and the moon in place etc. I was surprised at how well  the premise held throughout the book. It was fun and amusing. I loved having t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42886918">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[After reading a short review of this book, I knew it would be entertaining.  What would happen if the gods of Olympus suddenly were forced to reside in a shabby home in London?  The book gives a good background of Greek mythology while being a quick and fun read.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A remarkable debut novel that is at once funny, poignant, dramatic, thought-provoking, and absurd, yet oddly charming and appealing.<br/><br/>The gods of Olympus are living in London, their powers diminishing and their spheres of influence humorously modernized. Their interaction with mortals is r...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52633512">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is absolutely a beautiful portrayal of the Greek Gods at their best. It is set in modern time London where 12 of the original gods live in a tiny, cramped townhouse, dirty and unkempt. Each of the originals have their power, albeit limited because they are getting older and although the wo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50310123">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[When I first started listening to this audiobook, I cringed just about every second because of the authors &quot;He said, she said&quot; style of writing.  It probably wouldn't be so obvious if you were actually reading the written words, but listening to it is quite annoying.
