review 1: I didn't think it was possible to READ a videogame, but, apparently, it is. I don't know if it was because I knew it's related to the game, but I could totally picture the scenes and the fights and stuff.Kratos is too "Hulk crushes" for my tastes, but we can see he as a character with personality, not only a cold-blooded warrior.All the Greek gods act just the way I think they would. It was nice to see them portrayed exactly like I imagine them.Just ordered book 2.
review 2: There was some background intrigue as the Gods of Olympus maneuver and mold Kratos into a man worthy of killing a god. The author mercifully skipped a lot of tedious puzzles and substituted more traps and obstacles more worthy of the written word. His explanation of how Kratos can access t... morehe powers given to him (Medusa gaze, Zeus's thunderbolt, etc. ) struck me as a bit cheesy, but it got the job done. I would say this is more for fans of the series. less
