Zeus, king of the gods.

                                                               
     I read the book Zeus, king of the gods. The Author of the book is George O'connor. before anything there was Kaos, out from Kaos came Gaea. Gaea and Ouranos had children they where the titans, cyclopes and the Hekatonchieres. Ouranos did not like the cyclopes and the Hekatonchieres he sent them to Tartaros, Gaea did not like this so she gave Kronos a sickle to kill Ouranos. The blood of Ouranos landed and made the Gigantes,Nymphs and the three strange ladies. Kronos and Rhea then had babies they where the gods, Kronos was afraid of them overthrowing him so he ate all of them except Zeus. Rhea hid Zeus with the nymphs. Later the Nymphs gave Zeus a plant to make his father barf his brothers and sisters up. Zeus then freed the cyclopes and the Hekatonchieres  (he got his lightning bolt from them) then they all overthrew his father. He was then crowned king of the gods.
     I picked out a important theme from this book. I think that it was that with help you  can  overcome anything. Like Zeus would not be able to overthrow his father without the plant that he was given. This theme can be put in real life whenever you need help, it can even be getting help on school work. I think this theme good theme and it can be used throughout life.
    This book was very good. I think I would recommend  this book to a friend. I think my friends would like this book. They might  not even like mythology but still like this book because of the action like I did.  Overall I enjoyed this book and my friends would too.
