This is quick read. Probably more for teenagers rather than little kids, however there is enough in this for people my age into mythology and comics. Love the fact he sticks to the source. I probably have more than I should of mythology books, but I honestly have liked them all. The art and writing in this book are alright, but I still think it's a fun read. Definitely going to read the rest of these. ( )

learning about greek gods? no problem! actually understanding how much of a player Zeus was? not in this book. ( )

A beautiful and well-told tale of the dawning of the era of the familiar Greek Gods. O'Connor has kept important parts of history, while alluding to other stories that follow. ( )

The first book in George O'Connor's Olympians series focuses on the origins of the Greek Gods and how Zeus got them out from under the Titan's thumb. Illustrations were nice and the story is extremely an accurate recounting of the myth appropriate for any age. There are more facts in the back, recommendations for further reading for adults and children, and a discussion question guide. Zues' story is tangled up in the story of how the Greek Gods got their power so I am very curious how the stories of other god's will be handled. ( )
