"gods behaving badly" by marie phillips

this book was a riot to read, keeping me up past my bedtime many-a-nights to just read one more chapter.

set in the modern day, "gods behaving badly" finds all the greek mythology gods living in a run down house in london where morale is fading fast as no one believes in them any more. aphrodite is a phone-sex worker, artemis walks dogs, apollo is a tv psychic, eros has become a christian. a couple of overly nice mortals come into the picture providing a narrative and hilarity ensues. fun fun fun.
