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 world doesn't look up to them anymore, they are desperately needed to keep it turning. Aphrodite (a sex phone operator), Artemis (a dog walker), and Apollo (a TV psychic/medium), along with all the others must find a way to increase their power and regain themselves before time runs out, all with the help of a unwitting cleaner and her would-be boyfriend. This book is fabulous laugh-out-loud comic genius with a brave look at why we are the way we are as a human race. Highly recommended. Rated R for language and sexual themes.
