"i loved this book! it's one of the few book-books i've read more than once. there's adventure and romance, and mythology all wrapped up in here. it's awesome, i guess that's all i can say about this."
"I've had this in my bookshelf ever since I taught high school, and have just never got around to reading it. I picked it up last night and I liked it. Napoli has a terse, simple writing style that's not my favorite, but the premise was interesting, although it slowed down in the middle."
"im surprised i liked this book! kinda icky @ parts, but still good. it has a lot of greek mythology and i just so happen 2 love greek mythology! i cried @ the end of this book 2! well, that's not a big surprise cuz i cry @ anything remotely sad! lol. Still a really good book!"
