I have been meaning to read this book for years. Given the frequent references to Greek mythology in contemporary literature, I thought this book would be a great way to brush up on the topic. 

I found the beginning, detailing the gods' origins in a chronological manner, engaging and interesting. However, the narrative subsequently fragmented into a disjointed collection of vignettes featuring various deities and scenarios, lacking a cohesive overarching structure. The presentation felt more like an overly detailed outline interspersed with a lot of British dad jokes. Additionally it features an excessive number of footnotes. I appreciate etymology as much as the next reader but it can take you out of the topic or story. 

Ultimately, I found this book a tad too tedious. I'd probably just recommend playing Hades instead.
