Book Description
In Greek mythology, Medusa was a Gorgon — a winged monster with snakes for hair. Anyone who looked at her was instantly turned to stone. But she wasn’t born that way. Not even close. Athena was so jealous of Medusa’s beauty that she cursed her. Zeus changed the story to make his son, Perseus, look good. Hades is here to set the record straight on Perseus, Medusa, and everything in between. A part of the Myth-o-Mania series.
My Thoughts (spoiler alert)
Just when you thought you knew everything about Greek mythology, Hades – ruler of the underworld, tells us the real story of Medusa. A light-humored play on the mythology everyone knows, but with major twists.
The hilarity in this book is what makes it so great – I was giggling non-stop. I mean you have Hades who named his two steeds Harley and Davidson, Medusa concerned with hair products, and a frightening scary Athena. Our first introduction to the Goddess of war is where the story takes off – her actions kick into motion a hilarious adventure. Let’s just say while Medusa and her sisters think they are out to have a good night, things go very wrong and they are changed forever!
The story revolves around Medusa and Perseus, except it deviates from the legends, and Perseus may no longer be the hero. Following Hades attempts to stop Perseus from finding Medusa left me in stitches – everything he attempted was foiled, including a great scene with his Granny Gaia. If you’re in the mood to laugh, and don’t mind twisted mythology, then this is your book.
Even though this is book 3 in a series, the books can be read in any order.
So why is being overweight such a direct link to diabetes.
The huge distinction between Adiphene and Adipex is that Adiphene is a product that uses a sequence
of natural and secure to use ingredients. There is a section to discuss the biggest loser show, specific diets, and much more.
Not because they will be changed into adipose tissue, but because
excess protein in your diet causes you to burn more protein and stare more fat.
So, I know you are going to ask in desperation,
is there any diet pill that works fast and yet doesn’t need any prescription to
buy it. Then I took these dietary supplements and now Im again in shape.
Such are the ingredients of Adiphene that its one finest selling level is the shortage of dangerous uncomfortable
side effects. Individuals who have underlying medical condition should also consult a
physician before taking this diet pill. With more
time now passed, those rates would be even higher as obesity is still on the rise.
Even though search engine optimization has been here for more than ten years, but keyword
research services, be them Google keywords research services or for
any other search engines, go back even further. It isn’t far when one will never have to latch on to the
cellular network for Internet access. Perhaps it’s better not
be using these social networks, they say they keep people connected, but only in a virtual world, it probably prevents a lot of people from going outside and really
connecting.
I thought that SAY CHEESE, MEDUSA! became too gimmicky, but I enjoyed your review and included a link to it in my own review post of this book.
Sounds interesting. I like mythology.
Yeah, it’s a fun spin on mythology
Great review. One to add to my wishlist I think!
