An interesting concept for certain. The gods have moved down to earth, to sort out human behaviour for us because we can't seem to stop fighting with ourselves. Trouble is, these gods are a mite too powerful, and who watches the watchers? Well, maybe the Titans. Made powerful by incredible suits of armour, the titans are the only people who have a hope of taking on the new Greek Gods.
Although it was interesting, and mostly well written, I didn't quite finish it. It got a little bit tedious and felt somewhat drawn out, and the interest of finding out whether or not one of my favourite characters survived gradually waned. So I gave it up and took it back to the library.
There was an intersting twist in where the gods came from, yes, but it seemed to be somewhat laboured. In fact, the whole thing seemed to be drawn out far more than necessary. So although it could have been quite enjoyable, and a pretty powerful comment on genetics etc, it became a little tedious and started to feel more like a project to wade through than an interesting fiction read. If you've more patience than I have with slower paced novels then you'll probably enjoy it--like I said, it was an interesting concept. It just wasn't written in a particularly exciting manner.
