Wow. I thought I would love this book because Jaws is one of my favorite movies - definitely not the case. One of the few instances where the movie was better. One star for the shark parts, and .25 for the conservation efforts Benchley did after the damage this book did to sharks.

Definitely an introductory book, it covers some very basic information and some "common sense" ideas. I did find a couple of tips that were helpful, and it has beautiful illustrations and details.

I'm a sucker for a Hades/Persephone and dark, brooding love interests, so I enjoyed this. I wish there was more background info about Olympus and its politics. I also didn't understand how they were "Gods" but didnt have any powers (besides Hermes)... this could be a really interesting world if more time was taken to flesh it out. BUT I also know the point of this is the romance and spice so it did deliver there - the epilogue was lacking compared to other scenes but overall it was a fun read.
