Being immortal is not all it once was. Yes, the 12 Greek gods of Olympus are alive and well in the 21st century, but they are crammed together in a London town house - and are none too happy about it. Even more disturbing, their powers are waning. For Artemis (goddess of hunting, professional dog walker), Aphrodite (goddess of beauty, telephone sex operator), and Apollo (god of the sun, TV psychic), there’s no way out - until a meek cleaner, Alice, and her would-be boyfriend, Neil, turn their world literally upside down.
When what begins as a minor squabble between Aphrodite and Apollo escalates into an epic battle of wills, Alice and Neil are caught in the cross fire, and they must fear not only for their own lives, but for the survival of humankind. Nothing less than a true act of heroism is needed - but can these two decidedly ordinary people replicate the feats of the mythical heroes and save the world?
Gods Behaving Badly is that rare thing: a charming, funny, utterly original first novel that satisfies the head and the heart.

Would you listen to Gods Behaving Badly again? Why?
The story is a superb cant on the daily activities Roman Gods and their effect on the human populous. I have listened to this story about five times since I bought it and still immensely enjoy it every time.What did you like best about this story?
Marie Phillips puts together a superb story of bitter Gods who have fallen on hard times, and how the arrival of a simple housekeeper creates a butterfly effect that literally encompasses Heaven to Hell. To top off the mayhem, the housekeepers newly found boyfriend uncovers some disturbing information about these Gods and steps up to try and help rectify all.What about Rosalyn Landor’s performance did you like?
Rosalyn Landor performs a myriad of distinct voices that brings the characters' persona from black and white into technicolor. Super job.What a hilariously naughty romping great read!

What made the experience of listening to Gods Behaving Badly the most enjoyable?
Writing and narration were equally commendable. Marie Phillips has a great sense of comedy and Rosalyn Landor knows just how to deliver it, with a bit of class and subtlety.Which character – as performed by Rosalyn Landor – was your favorite?
There were many great characters and she performed each of them distinctly and to full effect. Apollo may have been my favorite, but her renditions of Aphrodite and Alice were both very effective as well.If you could rename Gods Behaving Badly, what would you call it?
Its title is a perfect summation already. Why change it?Any additional comments?
I'll definitely look for more books by both the author and narrator.Hilarious bash at the Greek Gods in modern times!
