Se os deuses são imortais, onde será que vivem e o que será que fazem em pleno século XXI? A resposta poderá surpreendê-lo. Sim, os deuses do Olimpo estão vivos, mas, como os seus poderes já não são o que eram porque já ninguém os venera, o seu dia-a-dia é muito pouco agitado. Um dia, porém, uma seta disparada por Eros vai instalar o caos entre deuses e meros mortais, com consequências hilariantes. Errar É Divino é um romance encantador e inteligente que lhe proporcionará inúmeros momentos de boa disposição.

Criticize Of Books Errar é Divino

Probably closer to 3.5 stars for this one. I really wish GR would get with it and let us do halves! This book was a recommendation on Goodreads, one of those "if you liked this book you'll also like....but of course I can't remember the original book. The premise of the book was interesting-gods living in modern London in the 1980's, in a ranky townhouse that is pretty much falling apart. Aphrodite is running a phone sex business, Artemis is a dog walker, Eros has discovered Christianity and is

The gods of Olympus are real, and they're just as spiteful, petty, and self-centered as myths depict. They live in a run-down London townhouse, and shy Alice is the unfortunate mortal they hire to clean the place. Neil wishes he could be more than a friend to Alice, but is too timid to ask her out. But when Alice and the entire world may be destroyed, Neil will dare anything to save them.Neil and Alice are introduced in a scene where they are visiting in her cleaning cupboard: "Suddenly Alice's

It's a setting that just full of possibilities: the Greek Gods of Olympus are still around and most of the principles are living in a rundown house in modern London. With characters like Apollo and Athena and Hermes, there's no end to complications and plot twists, right? Phillips does come up with jobs suitable of her cast - Aphrodite as a phone sex operator just makes perfect sense. And if Apollo and Aphrodite live in the same house, they probably would end up having sex with each other,

Having grown up on D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths, I was totally thrilled with this campy premise. The first page shares the interesting news that New York now houses the now diminished members of Greece's family of Gods: Zeus, Hera, Artemis & Apollo, and oh yes! Aphrodite. . . .every few pages on the phone with her best phone-sex voice and script while communicating with others in the room. Knocked me out of my chair. . .hilarious! BUT as amused as I was, this is the type of quirky style

I've always considered the Greek gods to be one of the earliest incarnations of the soap opera: the large, tight-knit and incestuous family full of backstabbing, trickery, deceit, love, lust, betrayal, vanity, bravery and chiselled jawlines. They're perfect for a piss-take, and in Gods Behaving Badly Phillips has done a marvellous job of sending them up - all while making you like them just a little bit.Acting on the premise that the Greek gods are still around, still making the sun shine and so

Well! This is definitely in my 'best books of 2016' list right away! What a phenomenally imaginative and creative approach to the modern day of the Greek gods - makes Rick Riordan look like an amateur. This is very, very funny - though not laugh out loud (I rarely do).And there is a bonus at the end! MP gives one of the best descriptions of the creative process that I have ever seen - and that is humorous too. It certainly sounds a lot like me trying to get to grips with a painting!

Gods Behaving Badly is a diverting little romp for those who love mythology and legend. However, while enjoyable (and I did laugh out loud a few times--Eros is a born again Christian, how great is that?), the novelty of the inventive premise wears a little thin halfway through the book and culminates in a less than climactic ending. It's entertaining summer reading, but nothing too profound or world altering. However, sometimes that's the type of book that perfectly fits the bill.
