review 1: After reading a somber (yet good) novel about Russian Revolution with plenty of executions , anger and violence I thought it would be nice to read something lighter. And so I picked this one ( first because of the title and its cover) and it was indeed a good choice. Although it was a light and funny reading. it raised a few questions about the nature and the ways of love without being too preachy. And to lighten even more the novel, there were the gods of Mount Olympus as comic relief. It would not surprise me if in the future it was adapted to the big screen. It would be a great comedy....
review 2: Rather gentle story of a woman who writes romance but has lost faith in it herself due to meeting the wrong people.Which is where the Olympic gods move in to help
... more. She should have met and married someone quite else years ago, and the gods (or fate) conspire somewhat haphazardly to right this wrong turning in her life. Moving, funny and warm, with compelling characters, both real and godly, Aphrodite's Workshop is romance for grown ups. less

Brief moments of brilliance in social observations, but otherwise it just seemed to meander on...

Very readable and quick but nothing incredible. Generally sweet and enjoyable.
