Customer Reviews

Better than the original myth

I'm a big fan of greek mythology and this is my favorite story. I've read this book about 14 times and it's still my favorite. The only part I didn't like was when Psyche spent all those years trying to make Aphrodite happy and see Cupid again. She seemed to good for him. I definetely recommend this book, but you should first read the myth Eros (Cupid) and Psyche so you have a better idea of what's going on.

Nice Shot!!

This is a really funny and great book. It lets you learn about the original Greek myths but twisting them in a funny and entertaining way. WEEE! It's a very,VERY(times 100) good book to read.

Jessica's Review on a Nice Shot

I think that this book was a page turner. I have read almost all the Myth-O-Mania books and this one really stuck out. It was the best one in my opinion. All of them in the series are funny with Hades as the narrater bringing all of the events to life. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good laugh once in a while but loves to read. Although it isn't a very long or hard book at all. Teens who just think that every book is stupid may want to pick this one up. I thought this was going to be stupid when our teacher gave us the series to read. It turned out to be a very interesting and fun way to learn about mythology. So go to the library or a book store and get this book because it's GOOD!

Love is in the air

This book was an extremely funny book, and is the second Myth-O-Mania with Cupid. Inthis one Hades meets the beautiful mortal Psyche at a wrestling match, and soon after the Show-offy goddes Aphrodite discovers mortals have stopped worshipping her because of Psyche's beauty. Cupid is sent to make her fall in love with the smelliest mortal alive, but falls in love with her. Since he is a teenager he doesn't want Psyche to see him so hideous, so he and Zeus have a brilliant plan...This book is just as good as the first three and hsi garrunteed yo make you laugh.
