bunniidoctorr's review against another edition
The author is extremely disrespectful of the ancient Greek religion/culture and is sexist as well. He also calls the myths fiction and often brought up Christianity and belittled the Greeks for their beliefs. The writing wasn't very good either. The only thing good about this book is the cover.

rleigh7x's review against another edition
1 star. DNF by page 50.
Had me at first but the overwhelming obviousness that this was written from a Christian lens by several different people is just too much. There’s continuity errors everywhere AND some things are just wrong. “Heaven” is mentioned more than Olympus and the blatant bias (especially in Hera’s chapter) is so disgustingly disrespectful that I cannot continue. Tell me you don’t respect a culture and beliefs and religion that is literally still practiced without actually telling me.
