Readers Who Will Like This Book: Readers who enjoy Greek and Roman myths.
Personal Response and Rating: I rate this book a 1. The illustrations, which include naked and topless pictures, were distracting to the story. Also, several of the myths deal with mature sexual situations, such as being abducted and raped, which are not appropriate for younger audiences.
