review 1: After I read book #1 I said that I wasn't reading any more Pandora books. Well, I decided to give it another try and read book #2. I did like it a bit better than book #1 but I still think that it is not a match for the age group it's intended for. This book gets gory and the story is somewhat disjointed at times. In this story, 13 year-old Pandora, daughter of the Titan Prometheus, at the decree of Zeus is still searching for the 7 deadly sins she accidentally left out of the box in her father's keeping. Her time to find them all is limited and Zeus' wife Hera is trying to make her fail. In this book she must find her way to Alexandria, Egypt in the quest for Vanity.
review 2: So if the books in this series are only three star books for me, why do I keep picki... moreng them up? Maybe it's that I was a Greek mythology junkie at an early age. Maybe I find it hard to leave a conflict unresolved--and after all, there are seven deadly sins, and Pandora can only gather one per book! Maybe, too it is the funny blending of modern culture with ancient tradition that makes me grin (sometimes that "ooh, it hurts" painful kind of grin when it's just so obviously dumb-funny). I still find the Pandora books a little too irreverent and sassy for a younger tween--at least for mine. And if you are into Greek mythology, you'll enjoy screening them to see if your daughter is old enough to read them. less
