This book definitely is not very good. It's missing many of my favorite stories from mythology. Also, several very important gods and goddesses are left out.

This factual book describes research about gods and
goddesses.Among all the gods, Poseidon is my favorite. He
is my favorite god; he was Zeus’s brother and he was the master
of the sea. This book has gods from other countries and
different cultures. This book is great for students who want to
research a particular god. In addition, it tell
many facts about gods and goddesses of all cultures, but it does
not tell about the unpopular gods. I like this book because it
tells me factual things and has Greek Gods that I'm learning
about in Latin. I recommend this book to all students that are
in latin and are learning about gods.

The book is about the different gods and goddesses in world mythology not just your typical Greek, Roman and Egyptian gods and goddesses. It also includes some Celtic, North European, African, etc. gods and goddesses. Elizabeth Hallam did a wonderful job on giving brief yet complete descriptions of each deity that she included. I give the layout of the book and the descriptions 4 out 5 stars. I wouldn't change anything in the book. I recommend this to anyone who loves mythology and studying world cultures.
