Review: The Dig by Audrey Hart
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 02 3, 2012
As said, Zoe has always been an outsider, who is fascinated by digs. So she ends up on a dig in Greece and that's when things start to happen!I had my "Greek mythology" phase at some point, meaning I read all the Percy Jacksons I could find, watched Percy Jackson movie like ten times in a row and Clash of the Titans, too. So I was little scared that this would be like Percy Jackson.You can't imagine how happy I was when I noticed I've been wrong! Yes, it's about Greek mythology, but with an original twist.Zoe makes a great heroine, that I have to say. You probably remember how many times I've been whining about whiny heroines? Well, that I didn't really have to worry about in this book.Yes, there's some overly sweet moments for Zoe, but even when there's a man by her side, she won't let him do all the job! Refreshing. I heart.I loved the original approach with the gods and goddesses! They are like a high school clique, except this high school clique has been on for like 500 years.. Clique from hell.So when Zoe comes up, they aren't really happy about that. Especially since they are all about couples, and Hera and Zeus have been an on-off couple only forever.. Yaicks. That can't be good, and I can promise you, IT'S NOT.I just wasn't too happy about how Zeus handled things with these two girls. Yeah, you don't want to piss off your ex, who is, you know, a goddess, but c'mon. Just break things up with your ex/whatever, then start new things! Less messy.Even when I was on the last page, I couldn't stop reading. I was reading acknowledgements and didn't even realize that. I started screaming at that point. It's unfair to put that kind of cliffhanger to the end of the book!!! So unfair. I nearly cried. What happens next?! I have to know. But I just have to wait like everyone else. And try to stay sane.Love,Monaliz @ Mind Reading?
