Thanks to this book, I know everything there is to know on Greek mythology. It also helped me understand the characters in the Percy Jackson series more, although both authors, had different opinions about the Greek gods and titans in cases of their personality. It was easy to read, and it was packed with some humor too. Hope you read it!

I heard from my sister that it's pretty good. She says it's great if you want to know somethings on Greek Mythology. I saw in her book that there're awesome illustrations and cool trivia questions. I can't wait to start reading it!

I read this to my younger sister because personally I love greek mythology and thought she would think this book was cute too. She enjoyed it just as much as I did. This story took some details in the actual stories of greek myth. but did it in a way a younger audience could understand. I recommend this to any audience that appreciates myths/creativity.

It is very exciting and puts a lot of humor into the facts

I just simply love this book I am now like a genius of mythology. This book is a great book for the car because it has trivia questions about mythology and ancient stories.

I want to read Greek Mythology because I read Ken Jenning's other novel on Presidents and it was brilliant! It was filled with ever funny factoid you could ever imagine a president doing. Furthermore, this book educates young students looking to learn more about greek mythology, and how interesting it is. I hope Ken Jenning's continues to make more!

I am a huge Greek mythology fan. I have read al of the Percy Jackson series, including the Heroes of Olympus ones. I have branched out and have read other mythology books written by many different authors. This book was one of the best. It sort of put the humor in some of the more violent or sad stories. That's what I liked about it.

This was a fun easy read. It talked about Greek mythology which helped me and gave me background knowledge wile I was reading the Percy Jackson series. This book made it easier to understand about Greek myths and gods. It was funny and had great information. It was almost like a cartoon, but it was just very informative(which is a good thing). It had also great pictures to go with it which made it more fun and easier to understand while spreading out the Greek myths, stories, and gods knowledge around us.

This book combines two things I like--Ken Jennings'(the guy who won a bunch on Jeopardy) and Greek mythology.This book has lots of drawings & quizzes making it a fun & east read!
