Does the spin of beat the original?
This book is a spin of of the Percy Jackson series.
What makes this book not a ripoff of Percy Jackson is that it's so completely different mainly thanks to our narrator Apollo. Apollo's cooky sense of humour will have you laughing all day.

somehow even though the theme of the book is the same throughout with a pattern of battle and miraculous save, battle and miraculous save, battle... The twists and turns just constantly keep you guessing.

This is a book during which I just could not keep still it really grabs you and pulls you in to the point where I found myself crying over the book (although maybe I'm just to emotional). I just felt hugely attached to the characters. It is honestly amazing how the author made a god so relatable.

It sucked me in
It's hard to believe Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg have not teamed up for a film until now, but this movie makes this fact worth the wait.

The story took a little while to grab hold of me and to understand fully the implications as to what was happening (maybe I am a little slow), but once it gets going it doesn't stop. All the actors are on the top of their game and pull off hearty performances.


It is difficult for a historical film like this to grab hold of you since a lot of people already know the climax, but great films like Apollo 13, Titanic and this one manage to pull it off.


Glad it had a wide release before the Oscars this year.

Great 2 player Abstract game, plus the God powers make it interesting
This game is beautifully made, you can make your own if you want but with this version available I wouldn't bother. This is a masterful production with gorgeous art and such a super simple and easy to pick up game. I teach this game to people all the time in under 5 minutes... move your guy one space and then build around him. you can move up or down f you want, but can't jump two levels up. the winner is the one who reaches an uncapped top. Great for young and old alike. and with th god powers, you can play Apollo against Zeus, or Aphrodite vs Herra... etc... This is another great gateway game.
