This was probably one of the most interesting Greek mythology retellings I have ever read--and I've read a lot of them. In a way, it was also one of the more accurate retellings in terms of how the gods were portrayed. Despite living in the 21st century with all of its progressiveness and change, the gods are still as vulgar, spiteful, and uncaring as ever. It makes for an engaging, delightful read. The dynamic between two "Average Joe" mortals and these Olympians long past their prime is something you'll wish you had more of. Gods Behaving Badly takes you on a journey that you weren't quite prepared for, but you'll be happy you took when all is said and done. Also, I love Artemis. She deserves the world.
